Hello,
Lisa here again!
why can't I get this issue in my life together?
emotional eating is the worst.
anyone going though this?
I've got an excuse for it all..... work, work people, home life, break up. winter, summer, chores, bills..... I know what I need to do but every time I get up tight, upset, or sad, I eat....
I have a gym memebership, but never go.
I guess I need to just do it, don't talk about it, cause thats setting me up for failure.
and keep it up, log in, stay focused. keep my mouth shut. no punh intended.

Could it be that you think you have to more than you really have to? Healthy eating isn't torture, nothing specific, not deprivation, it's just getting in everything you need but not getting in too much of anything. If you want to exercise, fine, but you don't have to go to a gym to exercise, and you don't have to exercise to be healthy.0

I'm in the same boat. Have to lose 25 lbs! Chocolates are my poison just can't give up on them.0

Hi there! Yep, similar boat here. Starting over and have found that for the last 5 years I have been full of excuses. Most conveniently, it has been finishing a degree this past year. Now though, I am done with school and am trying to not make any excuses at all. This is a commitment I want to make to myself. I survived one heck of a challenging year, surely, I can do this. Emotional eating is hard for me as well and I have a history of making lots of excuses to eat. I am trying really hard to remind myself of where emotional eating has gotten me and it isn't going to be supportive of my goal of getting healthy. This is Day 2 for me, so, I know I am still in the "honeymoon" stage of implementing change. Hopefully I can stick to it this time around and stay focused on the end goal.
Anyone can feel free to add me as a friend!1 -
Hello all I'm new to this, have tried different things to no avail. But I think this is going to work because I put down every thing I eat, and it calculates my calories
I stopped eating chocolates, drinking soda, and munching all the time, and im not hungry. I'm optimistic, wish me well.0 -
Hello, I am in the same boat as all of you too! 1 step forward and 2 back and as a result I am getting further and further away from my goal :-( Tomorrow is a new day. Here we come!!! Feel free to add me.0

I lost 80 lbs in 12 months and have kept it off for 20 months so far, and I eat chocolate every single day.
