exercise
I know this is to talk about emotional eating, which I do. But I want to talk about how I want to exercise and I have been saying it and not doing it. Today I started eating healthier and I hate it! I want to eat what I normally eat, I feel hungry, my husband just ate something that smells wonderful but he's not the one…

Empty nest
My son is leaving for USMC boot camp in 10 days. This is a good move for him. However, his upcoming leaving has brought on drama and emotion at our house because he's an only child and his mother is having a hard time cutting the apron strings and letting him go. This upcoming change has caused me to have to be careful…

that moment when you lose control
Do you know what I mean? I have good intentions and strategies to manage myself during those tempting times, but when it comes, it's as if I become unconscious. Nothing keeps me from me and my sweets! I think if I can just stay with reality, I might be able to talk myself down, but it really does seem like a psychological…

I cant help but binge...
During the weekday, I am good. I eat balanced meals, go to school (taking summer classes), go to the gym, and everything goes as planned. Once the weekend hits, I'm done. I dont have school Friday, Saturday and Sunday so those are the days I tend to overeat, and when I say overeat, I'm basically eating and stuffing my face…

The struggle with emotional eating
so, I am, like many, an emotional eater. Some say its when they are depressed, others when they are happy, but for me it is ALWAYS. I have learned that I emotional eat, always. It is always on my mind. It is attached to every event, every happiness, and celebration. It is attached to every family function, even the…

My pup is dying
My fur baby is showing signs if dying. He is 17 years old and sleeps all the time, doesn't show interest in food or water. If he does eat it is a very little or he pukes and my daughter said he falls while walking sometimes. I don't see him walk much anymore and to top it all off he stays away from us. He used to want…

How to forgive yourself?
I have been married for about four years. In those four years, I've tried everything but actual fire to get rid of my wedding pictures! At my wedding, I was 5'8" and in the 270s (lbs). I see myself in that giant white dress and I can't stop crying. I don't even recognize myself. Brides are supposed to be pretty and happy…

Why I am binging? Walking myself through.
I've been working hard to stay on track. Last night I had my first binge in over a week. I just went off an SSRI med and I'm feeling incredibly emotional and self aware. I am worried that my teacher is mad at me because I am behind in class, I sent my adviser an email telling her about how I am having trouble focusing in…

new and feeling shame
Just found this group and I"m glad I did. Today I weigh the most I have ever weighed in my life and I am feeling so ashamed. Every morning I say "today's a new day and today I won't binge".

Lost it yesterday and so bummed
I'm sure I gained all of my lost weight yesterday due to a bad binge night. The same trigger that sets me off every time did it again. I just can't seem to overcome this trigger which sets off carb binging. It always starts with being forced to eat lunch at a bad place (fast food which I never do), followed by other…

I just took a walk instead
Instead of over-eating or doing something similarly self-destructive after something upsetting happened, I took a walk instead. I think that's probably a first. It was miserably hot out and I probably should have put sunscreen on first, but I do feel better. I'm still angry. I'm still upset. But I don't feel like I need to…

Trying not to eat my feelings
I'm really trying not to use food as an escape from stressful situations but it can be so difficult. Between raising a child with ADHD and another who's a toddler still, it can be a lot dealing with the meltdowns in public, the running off when they're upset, and just destroying everything in the house. I just get so…

Can't sleep at night so I eat.
I get really anxious at night. I struggle with ruminating thoughts about whatever people I've talked to during the day or what I have to do the next day. I will just lay there for an hour and then give up, get up and watch tv. My core feels so electric with anxiety, I wish I could just take a pill to make it stop, but the…

So disgusted with myself!
On 4/1 I weighed 131lbs. (I am 5'9.) I weighed myself tonight before I got into the shower and I now weigh 151lbs. I went an entire 7 days without bingeing and now I cannot stop. I just don't know what to do anymore. I'll go a few days and then all of a sudden I just HAVE to have 10,000 calories in one sitting. I am…

New here and I eat my feelings!
I'm a big emotional eater. I eat my feelings. I always feel hungry. I hate being like this. I'm in a medical weight loss program. I've done well, but in January I had foot surgery and couldn't go to the gym for nearly 3 months. I got really lazy. I went back to eating crappy. I'm having a really difficult time getting…

Looking for new buddies while I deal with big life changes
Hi guys! This looks like a very supportive group and have been reading for a while. Last Christmas I lost my Mother to pneumonia, she was ill for years, she was house bound, needed a lot of care and was on oxygen 24/7. It happened within a week but was still such a big shock. Mum was my best friend and spoke to her nearly…

Struggling
I'm struggling right now. Here recently I have taken on a new attitude, that of the Juggernaut, because it represented how I'm now approaching life: my forward momentum cannot be stopped. But the past three weeks have been nothing short of nearly impossible. My mom has been in ICU for three weeks now. Not just in the…

This has always been my biggest problem area.
Cooking separate meals for me and my family used to be a nightmare and I would give up and just binge in what they are eating now I made it fun and I feel like I am no longer left out. for example I eat a lean premade meal like Tombstone pizza is what they had for supper. So I had a low cal pizza proportioned just for me…
