I am definitely an emotional eater and have always thought that I had no control over the eating when I started the binge..... Until today!!!!

After stressing out over trying to find a new place to live and trying to get over someone who has no interest in me, I really wanted to just buy some ice cream and feel sorry for myself but I didn't!! I called a friend and thought of my MFP support knowing that I can cope with stressful things in other ways that don't lead me to increase the number on the scale.

Even though this is a small victory, it makes me so happy :-)

  • Awesome job! Though one small victory today... Over time, all those small victories add up to a giant victory! Changing habits is the hardest thing to overcome! Well done... :)

    That's a great victory! :smile: Well done for reaching out for support instead of reaching to the ice cream.

    I'm learning to do the same thing and sometimes it just means being a bit unhappy for a while. But that's okay. I feel better again soon enough and I can be proud that I'm staying on track with my eating.

    I was just about to do some crappy emotional eating myself. Craving some junk food to replace yet another relation gone bad. Thanks to you im also not going to anymore. Thank you!
  • Great work! :-) that is a real victory. Stress eating is a tricky thing. Next time I feel like stress eating I'll remember you and will think of alternative ways of coping. Congratulations :-)
