I've gained 60lbs since my ex left me for a 20 something much thinner girl. I was already thick at 235 but I'm definitely feeling the extra weight. I can barely put my own socks out shoes on. 293 is not looking good on me and no matter how many times I shower there's a smell from under my breasts and belly flap. I cannot stand to be around myself which only makes me more depressed which makes me eat more... HELP!!

    eating your feeling is comforting and easy right! It is a quick fix!!! I am with you! I am sorry this has happened to you!! You need to love yourself and get your mind right and self esteem before you fix the eating !! I have worked on self care and talking to someone for a few years and I am finally ready to work on being physically well! I love carbs and sweets! Not denying what I like just not having access to my weaknesses is helpful! Best of luck to you! You Matter 🩷

    I understand completely, I’ve gained 33 pounds since I left my ex-boyfriend for cheating on me and I also am an emotional eater and have been eating my depression away so I just want you to know that you are not alone and thank you for posting this because you reminded me that I am also not alone❤️

    Why do we punish ourselves for what people do to us? I have been cheated on by my ex-husband as well as my ex fiance and boyfriends. I finally went to therapy because I yo yo'd I either didn't eat or ate everything.I now know the problem was them not me. Believe me getting there was not easy. The yo yoing messed me up. I know my triggers for emotional eating ( movies showing violence against women or children, the news, reality shows, things that remind me of who I used to be and what I used to look like) I have tools that I use to work through them.

    I pray and meditate. I listen to positive affirmations. I choose five things to focus on( each one for each of the five senses). These are just some tools I have in my arsenal😁

    Anyone dealing with depression/anxiety/ stress eating or not eating with help ( professional) can overcome. You are not alone.Hugs
