Stress, I'm a terrible stress eater. I will just sit there and shove food in my mouth with no bottom to my stomach. I have to be really careful to eat mindfully.0

I think what is most attractive about overeating or emotional eating for me is that most of the time I can do it invisibly; that is, if I am feeling sad or stressed, I can eat to feel better instead of sharing and admitting to others that I am struggling : /0

Definitely boredom. If I'm just sitting around watching movies with a few friends I could eat like 300 bags of chips and not even notice, haha. I've found that if I'm going to eat something "junky" I'll need to buy it in it's "snack-size" form because once I start, I just can't stop. So I'll buy a small bag of chips or a tiny bag of candy instead of the "family size" bag. I've also been making really huge changes in the foods that I buy. I don't keep anything unhealthy around the house. At least then when I head for the fridge I'll fill up on grapes instead of cookies.0

I overeat when I'm at work in a sedentary job. Coworker bring unhealthy snacks and I have trouble turning them down. I'm trying to find ways to take breaks and put the word out I'm trying to take better care of myself and if you care about me don't tempt me

I overeat after dinner, when no-one's around. I rarely eat in front of people. I'm such a fake! but I eat after supper in front of the tv by myself. It's "me time". a way of loving myself, something to look forward to, something comforting. i don't have a lot of stress in my life, i'm not a worrier, i have a good family and good friends. i'm just a secret eater. always have been. i used to hide food under my bed as a child. i don't know if i'll ever figure it out. sound familiar? any tips? looking for friends!0

I overeat in reaction to any uncomfortable feeling it seems. Worry, boredom, sadness, exhaustion, anger etc......0

I overeat when I'm studying for my exams! I've these thoughts like "Ohh, I need to stay up and study, I need alot of energy to keep me going, so I'll need this cookies and chips" =.=
I'm having my block exam in a couple of weeks, hopefully I'll refrain myself from these nasty calories and still do well in my exams!

Out of everything I think that causes me to overeat is cravings. If it is in the house and I know its there the temptation overthrows me and I will indulge to the point of guilt and then the next few days after I do that I keep doing it. :sick: DEAR Junk food,I HATE YOU!!!!!0

I tend to overeat when my boyfriend realizes so many depressing things in his life (which they are NOT depressing...he just wants so many things all at once and hates waiting)
When he is down and depressed I have started to notice that whatever mood he is in is starting to rub off on me...
I don't really know how to NOT feel down when he is...it's like he wants me to feel DOWN with him and I can't...
Taco Bell
2 Chicken Burritos (1 ea for us both)
2 Bean Burritos (both for him)
1 Gordita (him)
1 Volcano (him)
and it's always around 11pm midnight that he gets down and hungry so there we go
Also he weighs 235 and is a beach body consultant and when he continuously looks at the HUGE box in our spare room he realizes that he will nvr get to where he needs to be so there I go again feeling bad...
Like me losing weight is on the back burner bc he wants my support when he gives me none.

Mainly when I'm stressed or upset. Sometimes out of boredom too!0
