Ways to motivate?
I've had a bad couple of weeks with allowing myself to eat foods (or meals!) that I shouldn't. I don't do moderation very well, so if I go down, I go down in flames! I'm wondering what kind of motivational tools have worked for you? Like, reminders to stay on track. Do you post pictures/notes to yourself? Anything else?…

New here- wish I would have found this group sooner!
My last year and a half has been crazy. I am just wrapping up a horrible child custody battle and painful divorce. Every other weekend all 3 kids are now at their dad's. I try to distract myself from being depressed, but it always turns into watching movies, drinking a glass of wine, and eating pizza. I only went 150 cals…

New....Lost
So I've been bouncing around for quite some time now trying to figure out how in the past 10 years of my 13 remarried years I put on over 80lbs. I know that part of it was really do to taking all sorts of medications. But a huge part is due to my out of control eating when life gets really tough. In college I drank heavily…

grand opening.
A new dunkin donuts opened near my work on Monday. In the back of my mind, it has been bugging me that I have not been there yet. But I know where this leads, I worked a couple of blocks away from a bakery before and it eventually got to the point where i was eating entire 8 inch round cakes for my lunch. I just want to…

Well, I apparently DON'T eat because I'm sad
But then I also don't feel like exercising either. I'm sad because I ran over my cell phone yesterday. (And my daughter broke the power button to my tablet.) I'm not snacking much here at work, but I'm also not filling my long hours with anything beneficial like getting out of my office chair.

Pain triggers my over-eating
I've been struggling with chronic pain for awhile and gained a bunch of weight snacking to make myself feel better. It wasn't really a conscious decision to put a food band-aid over my pain, I just felt like I HAD to eat. I started here on MFP last month and really had everything going well. But this week has been rough…

New here. I eat when I'm bored
Hi, I'm Gabinka. I tend to snack when I'm bored or tired. Which happens a lot at work. When I had the privilege of working from home 1 day a week, I snacked WAY less on that day. I was able to watch TV, do other things in between support calls. Here at the office, I'm trying to come up with things to keep me going without…

Bad food makes me feel happy...practical advice for avoiding that pattern?
I don't eat because of stress or sadness, I eat bad food because I like it and it makes me feel good! I don't buy things that I shouldn't eat, but with 3 adults in my household, I'm not always in control of what kind of food is hanging around the house! Any practical advice for avoiding the temptation? Last night is a…

A lifetime of emotional eating
Really, I'm 64 years old and am still doing this. Never hungry, don't care what I eat. My favorite thing is to hide and eat. I never learn. Still hope to change this.

Lifetime struggle for me too. Guaranteed comfort, but ultimately so destructive

Posting instead of eating
Feeling emotional today and I want to eat everything. It does not help that today I am working alone at an office that is attached to a warehouse FULL of food that I can get up and pull from any time I want. I had such a good day yesterday without even really trying - it makes it that much more disappointing to feel like…

Need support during a very difficult time in my life.
My husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer in December. We've been going back and forth to the Mayo Clinic and he is on chemo. The emotional stress has caused me to gain a LOT of weight and now my acid reflux is out of control. I thought dieting was something I just couldn't do right now because I am dealing with SO much…

Can't tell if I'm upset or emotional from dieting.
My boyfriend of almost two years lied to me for the first time ever. He's never lied, honest to a fault so I've trusted him more then ever even when I've seen questionable pictures. He was the one that said I have cellulite and should really stop procrastinating and really give it my all and finally get the body I want.…

Self Awareness
I didn't quite believe I was an emotional eater until today. I have been dealing with some difficult stuff for a few days, courtesy of flashbacks on past trauma and a mentally ill friend. I have had about 4,000 calories today. And my binges are consistently immediately following an upset.

I blew it!
I bought some m&ms on clearance from Easter and I think the first two times I had some, I ate one or two portions - - - figured that was o.k., then last night I thought I would have some more. I ended up eating the rest of them. There gone now so I don't have to worry about over indulging, however, it ruined my calorie…

Downward spiral
I'm not sure what exactly has set me off the last couple days but I have completely gone off my plan.

I can't bring myself to exercise after eating all this because I feel sick and I…

Need supportive friends
Hi Everyone, I've been going round and round this track for many years and I have hit an all time low. I am heavier than I have ever been, psychologically lower than I've ever been and I really feel like I could use some supportive friends to encourage me. Probably not the best advert for a friend above but I promise that…
