I struggle big time with emotional eating. I have a depression disorder and when I am having one of my struggles I want to turn to food..mostly sweets! I need a friend that can help me stay on track!

    Your not alone. I struggle as well. I revisited this group last night and knew I had to stay in touch more often. I've never been one to be a quitter. I had control of this problem before so I now it is possible to do it again.


    I gave to much of my self away before and Left little for myself. So that's where I'm going to start my change. Putting me at the top of the list.

    Being assertive is a tough one for me and lead to EE. Why should I turn to food when I already practice that action and lived to tell about it. :D

    Hi all, I just found this thread. I recently found this podcast which has been HUGE in helping me understand with and deal with my emotions and emotional eating. Healing Emotional Eating by Janet D. Thomas After listening to several episodes I realize my biggest problem lies in making the time to deal with my emotions. I recognize them when they occur (finally instead of just turning straight to food) but at the moment I am not always able to deal with them. I might need to burst into tears but have to hold it in because my kids need me to drive them somewhere or I have a meeting or something. I am trying to make time to journal and work through emotions that I have to put aside in the moment.
