Doritos and Accountability
The last few days have been stressful for me. Last night I saw Doritios on TV and suddenly wanted some. I laughed at the product placement. So clever. My boyfriend informed me that he had one of those small snack bags of them and if I wanted them I could have them. I thought long and hard about it. I wanted the chips. I…

Ugh! Just had a bit of a food breakdown!
Only day 2 in the new year....I think this time was out of boredom. I stopped at a local pharmacy to pick up a few things and ended up with Carmel nut clusters. 700 calories that quick. I logged it, but is is pretty typical of me....even when i am doing well. My trainer tries to tell me how to deal with these occurrences,…

Hello everyone :-)
When I am not emotionally eating I am emotionally shopping/spending. Unfortunately we don't have the money for either. But I find a way to indulge in one or the other, lately it's more like emotional eating wins out. I hate it, I hate turning to food (and never healthy food) every time I am bored, tired, crabby, sad or…

Started life change
I've started to eat more primal and I've found that I'm thinking about eating even when I'm not hungry. The reason being I'm worried that I'll fail at this like I have at so many other things. I was wondering if others have the same problem and how they deal with it.

NSV Today
At work today it started getting that 2 pm I have to have something sweet feeling. It was all I could seem to think about was that I really wanted sweets. Instead of heading to the vending machine I make a cup of mint herbal tea with stevia and sipped on that at my desk. By three I had eaten my jicama and I did not feel…

Christmas candy as a "calmer"
So It's only been in the last couple years I realized I was a heavy emotional eater. And I thought I had gotten control of it. I have recently gotten into a new relationship (only 6 months) and just yesterday got into a small fight. I realized I kept it small cause I didn't want to argue and have a big fight when the…

Sugar gluttony, emotional eating, easy rewards
I have a weakness. Before I started my new food lifestyle I was a sugar glutton. Cakes, doughnuts, cookies, chocolate, candies, you name it, I was stuffing my face with it relentlessly. The dopamine/glutimate rush from the constant rewards coming in my mouth caused me to have mad ADHD symptoms and it caused my insulin…

Intro
Hi, I am a married 33 yr old and a cosmetology student so basically my life is all chaotic at times. I've been diagnosed with PCOS(which is a female hormone condition) since 2006..

Getting started
I have a real issue with patience. And when I get impatient I get bored and frustrated - and eat. How do you survive not falling back in to old habbits BEFORE you get to see any results?

I can't stand it.
I really over did it this morning. First I got yelled at by the hubby which always has me run to food. Then my oldest son told me I couldn't have my 3 grandkids to get studio pics done. I was broken. I have eaten everything above and beyond. I get like this daily and need to know how and when to stop.

Honestly...What do you think?
Okay Everyone, First I want to say I am NOT starving myself. This is not about a mind trip or some number on the scale. In part it is due to a med I must take. But the other part is honestly I am not hungry, I'm litterally forcing myself to eat what I do eat everyday as I feel I could take food or leave it these days. If…

i can't stop eating today
I think it is stress induced but I am binging my way thru the day. I finally realized I better stop and get on here to find support and log my food or pretty soon i won't even be able to account for all that has gone in my mouth. Feeling like crap!

Anyway, i have had trouble binging and have gained a lot of weight from it. I''ve been looking at a few posts, and i think i found a…
