  • I try to quit eating/drinking sugar, and the drinking I nipped in the bud for the most part, but the eating sugar is very very hard! I haven't managed to do this. The no drinking caffeine, I manage to not have any for the most part. No alcohol, thank goodness! No processed food, I can't imagine going without. I'm going…

  • MicheleStiches, you talk about mindful eating basically, being aware of what you're eating and how you're eating it. I have been reading a book about mindfulness and while I practice doing that, it does help me become more aware of myself which helps a lot to become happier.

  • a confession -> I have not been eating very well lately. I haven't been eating a proper breakfast or dinner sometimes. I eat cheese and crackers for dinner at times and only coffee for breakfast.

  • I started with 258 and down to 253.8. 4.2 down. Not bad at all, but I could do better. I plan on cutting down on the coffee since I put too much creamer and it doesn't help with my weight loss goals. Good job everybody! You're all doing fabulous.

  • Hi Samantha, yes I'm an emotional eater too. I try to eat a treat at the hardest part of the day which is around 3-4pm at the end of the work day. I try to give myself a break during that time, but during the rest of the day I try to eat my best and try my best. It's hard and far from easy, not easy at all. I give you…

    in Introductions Comment by Alex_or_Ben July 2015
  • Hi, I'm Alex and I'm relatively new to MFP and I love it here! I'm trying to master emotional eating and eating while stressed or bored. A friend of mine suggested that I drink water while I'm stressed out and many times it works well to distract myself from everything else. I'm trying to study and practice mindfulness and…
