Chewing gum like crazy tonite!
I am such an emotional eater, and have been struggling so much. I tend to get so hungry in the evenings. I eat plenty during the day (around 1400 cal), so I KNOW I am not hungry. Its just from stress, working too much, tired, etc etc etc. So I am still working tonite, and want so badly to go and grab something to eat -…

For 4 months I tried yo hide it from myself with alcohol, I was drunk every day. Now when I am trying to quit drinking, every…

Bingeing at Night
Hello my dear friends :flowerforyou: I don't know if anyone can 'help' me actually, but maybe someone experienced similar things I did, so I decided to make this thread. I am in recovery of an eating disorder, bulimia nervosa. And in general, I'm doing quite fine. I'm in therapy and it is really helpful. My therapist…

Bad habits after work
I am an elementary school teacher, and sometimes I am very stressed out and hungry after work. I've developed a really bad habit of sometimes going to the drive-through at McDonald's and getting a milkshake and french fries to feed me and calm my stress. I never used to go to McDonald's partially because it's inhealthy and…

Fat Talk Must Stop
Fat talk: that voice in your head that is telling you, you are fat, your thighs are too big, your arms jiggle enough that you might fly away. That voice is your worst enemy and that voice is you! We are own worst critics and we tell ourselves everyday how awful we are and put ourselves in this tailspin of guilt which make…

Re-Experiencing Trauma
I'm working hard to get back on track with healthy eating. I'm trying to do it consistently and have always been effected (or ruled) by emotional coping with food. From July through December of last year, I was consumed with stress. My ex had stolen thousands of dollars of my stuff, was threatening and went off the deep…

Major Surgery, Major Stress
I'm glad to have found this group. I allowed myself to get to 316 pounds before finally realizing I would need to address my emotions before I could manage my emotional eating. For the most part I feel better just being aware of the problem and I try to ask myself "Why are you wanting to eat this right now?" to curb…

eating from tension - stopping now!
So, this is a tense day as I get my new business started. I have to deal with contract issues, something I hate to do, especially when they are sticky like this one is. So how am I dealing with it?

New to the Group
Hi, I'm new to the group. I'm definitely an emotional eater. I eat when I'm bored, sad, mad, or stressed. I generally don't think about food too much when I'm happy or in a good mood. On occasion, I will feel like eating to 'celebrate' when I'm in a good mood. It's just to celebrate that I'm a good mood, I guess. Just…

Hi everyone! My name is Liz. I emotionally eat, usually stressed induced or out of anxiety, but sometimes when I'm bored to. It's a difficult roller coaster for me, and I for one am ready to get off. I have terrible impulse control, so if I see those chips, I'm done for. And I can't eat just one chip, oh no. It's the whole…
