Bad Eating Day

Today was a very bad eating day. I know it's stress eating or emotional eating, but how do I stop that?....that is what I need to determine. I have my mind pulling me in all different directions. So many emotions and feelings going on inside. The only thing that I feel like I can control right now is eating and ironically I don't! After eating chips and salsa, cheesecake and other junk.....I feel like a failure. *sigh*

Girl, I hear you.

I think the key is trying to think before we eat. Are we truly hungry? Are we stressed?

I was reading on ediets about H.A.L.T. Never let yourself get too Hungry, too Angry, too Lonely or too Tired. Those are common triggers for stress eating or overeating.

I just can't seem to stop and think before I eat. I just do it.

I agree with chelle... thinking while being emotional??? I surely don't... ;-(
I too have some weight issue since a year... I added weight by taking medications (15 pounds in 3 weeks, it was a shock!! and I took some more 15 since those three weeks... )... and it seems to be there to stay if I don't take action... I'm not a big eater... but I'm a specialist of snacks... and I drink too much... So, I will follow you all here... and maybe try to find some solution to my problem...
Very interesting and useful initiativve! Thank you!

Hi Searabbit and welcome!! I can imagine that 15 lbs in 3 weeks was a HUGE shock!! I, too, gained some weight last year when I was sick and was prescribed steroids. Yeah..like THAT'S what I needed...but it what I had to do to get better.

Snacking is hard for many of us. I, too, can eat great meals (ok, I MAY overindulge once in awhile...lol) but I am a snack girl!! I love chips and salty snacks like that. I KNOW I'm not supposed to have them but I do....it's frustrating. There's that thinking thing again!! Help!!!
