Anyone tried Overeaters Anonymous?
Hi So I've tried OA at different times and had little success. I have a few friends who swear by it and have had massive success. I don't know if it's the whole twelve step philosophy or the notion of "clean eating" that freaks me out slightly. I haven't completely given up on the idea of incorporating it into my weight…

Emotional eating or binge eating?
I've been using MFP for almost 2 years now and lost 70lbs and was doing great sticking to my diet and everything. But, since March I have had at least 7 random days where I will want sugar SO badly that I have gone out and gotten a large cookie dough Blizzard from DQ with extra cookie dough and no fudge, bags of Hershey's…

Newbie looking for friends and support!
Hi group, I'm new on here. I'm very glad I stumbled onto this group. I have definitely struggled with the emotional side of eating for over a decade. ED's in highschool turned into binge eating in college. I gained and lost a TON of weight back and forth for the past 5 years. I am much better now than I was before, but it…

Celebrate small victories with me!
It is so easy to get down on ourselves. Let's pick out some bright spots and celebrate them! Yesterday I said "no" to dessert! *Yay me!* I logged on to MFP today! *Yay me!* I LOST weight for the first time in months! *Yay me!* What are your small victories (or big victories)?

Emotional resistance to weight loss
I'm wondering if anyone else experiences this - I'll start with some background. I've been overweight since I was a child - maybe 8 years old. I don't know what it is like to have a 'normal' size body. I've been as heavy as 265 and I'm about 197 now. I've done a lot of fluctuating between about 192 and 225 but I've never…

My story!
OK - here goes nothing! I am hoping that some how someone can relate! :) I have been an emotional eater for as long as I can remember. (My mom also copes with it) And I also suffer from anxiety. In 2007, I went from 180's to 138. After high school, I stopped paying attention to what I was eating and gained it all back,…

I never thought of myself as an emotional eater....and then
I've always yo-yo'd my entire life. Always wanting to be a size 2-4 (I'm 5'3 on a good day). I've always been one to want to be the best version of myself and whole heartedly believing that. I've never understood why i have such a struggle with over eating. Portion size has been the biggest hurdle for me, since I can…

That moment of why am i doing this....!!

Having my body given me no confidence in…

Self Sabotage
Hello, I haven't visited this group lately, but reading all of the posts has reminded me that I am not alone in struggling with emotional eating. If anyone needs support, feel free to add me.

New
Hi there! I'm new to the group. I'm back on MyFitnessPal after a several month long hiatus. I lost 27 pounds last year using the app, eating right and exercising and thought "I don't need the app anymore I got this!"...I don't got this. I gained half the weight back and I need to get things under control before I lose all…

New and definitely in need of the group!
Hiya everyone! I'm relatively new to MFP but not to weight loss. I've lost 60lbs in the past but gained a bunch back so I'm back in the boat of wanting to lose weight. I've started with a goal of 30lbs but am finding that my emotional eating and loneliness is definitely getting in the way. Looking forward to learning and…

Discouraged, feel like giving up.
Once again I have been working my butt off, watching calories excercising, the whole thing. And yet I step on the scale to find I have GAINED! It makes no sense, yet it always happens. Today I just want to give up and eat. :(

Anxiety and fighting the urge.....
To just STUFF my face. My biggest triggers are anxiety and anger. I am having a bout of anxiety today, so I am fighting the urge to just stuff my face.

BED treatment?
I am starting outpatient treatment for binge eating disorder tomorrow. Anyone else in this group suffer with an ED? I was treated for EDNOS a decade ago, and was at the skinny end of the spectrum back then; now I'm my past self's worst nightmare. Luckily, I've grown a lot since I was 20, and I realize that though I'm obese…

I need someone to tell me put it down, everything will work out! I have so much going on in my life that when I get stressed out or anxious I tend to graze through the day and night!!! I work 40-58 hrs a week, have a disabled husband, have my homeless(and disabled) brother staying with us. I have lost both my parents in…

So here I am again, 212 pounds, and trying to figure out how to make a healthier lifestyle for myself, rather than a quick fix. I am feeling so defeated and like a…

What to do the day after the binge? Restrict? Go on like normal? Reduce a bit?
Hi, I was wondering what your opinion is what to do the day after the binge. What is your experience? Should I fast or restrict? Should I do more sports? Go on like normal? Reduce a bit? I am trying to count my weekly calories and am close to maintenance, but as several attempts to do counselling did not work I am hoping…

Not going well.
I can't snap myself out of this! I'm so upset with myself over all the weight I have gained this year. The problem is I excercise and diet for a few days. Then get so depressed about letting myself go and eat to feel better! It makes no sense I know, but I do it. Then I'm even more depressed that I gave in. How do you get…

I suppose it's emotional eating..
Although I am not sure why I simply can not stop binging daily and nightly. My life has turned a complete 180 from where I use to be.. The only think that gives me pleasure or happiness is the thought of eating, and how much I can eat. I am always thinking of ways I can be alone to eat and eat and eat.. I do not like being…
