sidetracking
:flowerforyou: Was wondering if anyone had ideas on how to sidetrack oneself from eating when you feel you could eat a half dozen four packs of Reeces peanut butter cups. I don' seem to have the self control that I thought I did and really could use your advice.

satisfied my sweet tooth...
Instead of binging on cookies or ice cream when I was craving somethings sweet I decided to break up half of a Hersey's bar. I sucked on the small pieces until they were all melted. My treat lasted me longer than if I would have scarfed a bunch of cookies. So satisfying and creamy and only 105 calories. Now off to walk…

Looking for some MFP pals who deal with Emotional Eating
Hi all, My profile says I've been around here for awhile, but my first time here (when I registered) I just never really got into this site. I have two friends using this site, so I decided to come back- seems very active, which is awesome. I deal with overeating mainly during the evening hours and when ever I eat out with…

Today is going to be a rough day. The only thing I have planned is a dentist appointment today. I only slept for 4 hours. While not unexpected, my relationship has ended. It all makes me want to stay in bed. tell me anything to do besides eat and stay in bed.

Feel Like Bingeing
I have a bowl of pudding in the fridge right now and I can't stop thinking about it. I had a portion of it after supper and I wish I hadn't. It would have been much easier for me to just not have any than to control myself right now. I am not going to throw it away because my son loves it. I should be able to control…

Feel like giving up
This is one of those days I feel like just giving up and eating anything I can find. Does anyone else ever feel this way, and if so, how do you deal with it?

Gaining weight back
One of the challenges with emotional eating is that I do really well with staying within my calorie limit, but then some sort of stress will occur in my life & I'll fall off the wagon. I'm in a bit of a "yo-yo diet" scenario right now - but I guess it's better than just gaining an incredible amount of weight like I used…

Mostly new, looking for motivational friends!
I've done MFP before, but never for more than a few weeks, and never used any of the community features. I'm hoping this time to have the support to stick with it! I'm 26, live in Minneapolis, MN, and have pretty much been overweight my whole life. This time, I've been making a huge effort to take note of my thoughts and…

Taking care of me
Today is a day that I would usually eat. (aside, I just realized that I've heard that phrase before, but replace eat with drink, I'm no better) Really frustrating day at work, felt belittled and stupid, like I really shouldn't have the job I have. The problem is, I believe that a little bit, I don't think I'm qualified for…

I'm new here. :)
Hey guys, like it says, I'm new to this group. But I would say I'm a big emotional eater. Anytime I'm bored or stressed out my first reaction is to grab something to eat. I'm hoping to find people I can talk to when I'm having those unnecessary cravings. Let me know if you'd like to be friends. :)

gained a pound...Very sad
I have really been trying to get my eating habits back on track (not like they have been on track for YEARS) and have been reading books, really trying to think during my hunger and emotional cues. I have lost a TINY amount of weight, finally got down past that 200 lb mark after having my second child. I felt like I was on…

anyone here get stressed out over other people?
I have a brother who is bipolar and a significant other who is clinically depressed. I find that when things are going poorly for them, I take worse care of myself. Like tonight - SO was depressed, very much so, and I overate by thousands of calories. I have a therapist, and she says that other people's stress belongs to…

Anybody worked with a nutritionist?
I'm in counseling right now and working with a nutrition coach and a fitness coach. So far I think the counseling has done more for my habits. I am working on a non-judgemental approach to my habits. Like okay, this happened, lets look at it and think about why and grow from it. I am not perfect, and I don't expect to be…

Light Bulb moment for me :)
Hello, I am brand new to this group and pretty new to MFP. I have struggled my whole life with weight but this year I am working with a nutrition coach, a fitness coach AND a therapist.

Four weeks (june 26) ago my Dad and Uncle were attacked by a bull on our family farm. My Dad ended up being physically ok but he holds ALOT of guilt.…

emotional eating
Even though I over eat when I'm bored and later at night, I find that I don't eat when I am emotionally upset. I tend to live on coffee at that time. But I start eating ( alot more than I should) when things get better. And having type 2 diabetes, I know that is NOT good. What can I do to eat when I'm upset when I…

I had a bad day
So, I knew this day would come. After nearly a month of boot camp five days a week and a pretty healthy diet (which I have been logging daily), I busted. I know it happens, but it doesn't feel good. My knee has been hurting, despite wearing my brace, and I just couldn't do all the exercises and lunges. On top of the pain,…

I love MFP because....
This is such a beautiful website. Above everything, when I reflect upon why I love this website I think of two reasons: I love MFP because it gives me the control that I had lost and so desperately wanted back. and two, because it makes me feel normal, and makes me feel supported. I honestly thought I was the only…

Books on Emotional Eating
Hi MFP community! I think my biggest challenge in my relationship with food is that I am an emotional eater. When I am sad, happy, insecure, anxious, excited--anything--I turn to food. While the way I eat varies with each emotion-- when I am anxious, for example, I am conscious that I am reaching for food for support and…

I'm here!
I figure I'll share my story. My name is Renae and I'm 25. I had symptoms of bulimia from the time I was 15 till I was about 23. I started with purging, moved to exercise, diet pills, skipping meals...all to make up for the binges. Two years ago I realized that no matter what I did I had gained 30 pounds over 3 years. Its…
