Hi everyone! I am so glad to have found this group. I have been struggling without support for a long time and hoping that a online group would be a safe place to share my struggles and maybe get some real help. I have so many bad eating habits! I did not understand one of them was eating TOO LITTLE until I started really…

One thing that has really helped me is community acupuncture. I always wanted to try it but it was too expensive. Then I found community acupuncture and finally it was affordable and accessible. More info - https://www.pocacoop.com/what-is-ca-long-answer For me I had to go for physical comfort to combat the emotions…

Update 11/06/2017 (to keep me accountable to all of YOU for your wonderful help :smile: ) I have been tracking my food carefully and turns out I was not eating enough food during the week. Since I have been working in more snacks to my day and watching my energy levels carefully I have noticed a big improvement. I’m not…

I didn't really expect this kind of response and it really helped me out. Thanks everyone! I was totally looking at it wrong and you all helped me to see it a different way. This is the reason I'm here and really glad to find a place to get some perspective.

This was spot on. Since you posted this I have been experimenting eating when I'm feeling sick or sluggish (not really hungry) and noticed I feel better right after. I'm trying to make my meals smaller and more frequent as it's hard to eat a big meal and I end up putting off lunch till too late. I'm not that in tune with…

I like that! Not that I can't have it.. it's a choice. That gets me when it comes to treats and becomes an emotional response. Thanks for the help! I'm tracking my food this week and I'll try that trick of writing it down first. It has stopped me before and it will probably do me some good to get that habit going again. :)

I started tracking my meals again and looks like I'm not getting enough food and trying to fill that deficit on the weekends. I'm going to try and manage my meals better this week and see that happens this weekend. Thanks for the advice!

Oh that sounds good! I think focusing on water will really help. :)

I think I am working too hard and trying to scale it back now. I tend to go too hard when I get back into working out and it's frustrating how tired you can get just from walking more. Im tracking my food better and noticing I'm not getting enough protein. Thanks for your advice!

Thanks for all the ideas everyone! I am going to focus on just trying stuff out and having fun with it. The variety is already helping me cut back on coffee. It helps to just be more mindful of it and I find that I don't need the caffeine as much as a warm drink. So I am trying out a new tea or alternative every day. That…

I'm in! I keep falling back into bad health and bad habits. Every time I try again I learn a little more. This time around I am going to keep things really simple and build in safety nets for when it gets tough. I try and do too much and burn out really fast. If I push too hard too fast I get tired and cranky and that…
