I am an Emotional Eater and I allow stress to consume me sometimes. Food has brought me comfort when I know I should have found another solution to the stress. I love this post. Thanks.0

I told myself that I was getting old so it didn't matter. Little did I realize that I was also destroying my health.0

getting married and relaxing and "enjoying" life that inculded too many unhealthy choices... also emotional eating to fight boredom and anger...0

Of so many reasons I could name...having pretty much no concept of portion control for most of my life. Enjoying food, cooking it and eating it. Social eating. Emotional eating. Not enough physical activity. Low self-esteem. Getting comfortable in a long-term relationship and letting myself go. Family influences. Genetics. Being a full-time college student. Etc...
But as tempting as it is to blame other people/things for my fatness, no one is to blame but myself. I'm realizing that my ideal weight and body is actually attainable, rather than a fantasy that I think will never happen. I just have to put in the work and do it.0 -
Food has become my entertainment, I live to eat!!!0

No exercise, unhealthy eating, and not having any concept of portion control crept up on me over the years. I use to love Ben and Jerry's Heath Bar Coffee Ice Cream. Now I know if I really want some, I'll have to give some calories up somewhere else.....a lot of calories. Most of the time, it's just not worth it! Once you break the habit, the craving is really gone!0
