Hello all
I am back at MFP again. I have been at war with food my entire life. I am 44 now. Until I got pregnant with my son (who is almost 8 now), I would under-eat and over-exercise among other things....Then things turned around and now I over-eat or just eat garbage. I do struggle with anxiety (mod - severe at times).... and on…

Newbie and my PFTD
I am not new to MFP, but I am new to the Message Boards. I am a huge (literally and figuratively) binge/emotional eater. I hope to create a little accountability for myself by posting to this board. Plan for the day: We are going out for dinner tonight, so I'm going to plan my day accordingly. I want to keep my calories…

2014, an emotional year
I really want to get back on track. 2014 was a terribly emotional year for me and a diuretic I'm on didn't help w/ cravings either (SALT). In 2013 the emotions were worse, leading me to not eat and kick start a healthy diet. Late 2013 and all of 2014 have been stressful, the (hopefully temporary) loss of certain family…

Will I never be able to bake again..
I did it again, I made cookies so that my son had something to take hunting and I binged on them! I realize that baked goods more so carbs are a huge trigger for me binging. I had done so well all day as usual and then one taste of the cookie dough sent me spiraling out of control eating til I was uncomfortable...and then…

Last night
I was overtired last night, dealing with health problems, and feeling in need of comfort, and I almost binged. Instead, I managed to talk myself down from the ledge by reminding myself that I'd be awake with acid reflux all night if I binged, and that I really needed sleep. So, I had two turkey meat sticks (like small Slim…

I'm bored.
Tonight I wanted to stay in because I knew that if I went out to socialize, I'd overeat or overdrink on SOMETHING, whatever I could get my hands on. So I'm in...and I'm SO BORED. My boyfriend's out, the house is clean, I already exercised a lot today, and I am just SO DAMN BORED. I hate this feeling. Because you know what…

Trying not to Binge
I am frustrated from this morning's weigh-in, and I am really trying to control my eating habits right now.

Then to notice what is causing stress, that is a challenge as well. Why is it that I want to eat or tame my emotions when certain people are…

So glad this group exists! My weight problem began with emotional eating... and honestly I think it's going to end with it! What I mean is my disordered eating evolved from emotional eating, to binge eating, to bulimia back into binge then devolving back to the first culprit- emotional eating. It's like the trunk of my…
