Wow!! Lot of people stopping by so far! That is great!! I guess so many of us can relate and so many of us feel that we could use a support system.

I think I am the classic overweight person
1. I eat too much
2. I don't exercise enough (if at all)
3. I eat when I am bored, sad, happy, whenever.
Number 3 hit me.....I am such an emotional eater!! And since I have been going through a lot of BS lately, it's been really hard to get motivated NOT to eat and to start an exercise program....or rather stay AT an exercise program!! Anyone have any suggestions on that?
I'm really good for a short time, then something will happen and my whole diet and exercise plan goes down the drain. Two steps forward, three steps back. It's very frustrating. I guess I have to learn how to deal with that frustration and maybe let some of it just roll off and not let it bother me so much so I can remain on track. Easier said than done though, eh?

I am an emotional eater, I am also a binge eater. And like I said on my blog, I know that if I can't get the emotional aspect taken care of regarding food, I will not be able to keep my weight off for good.
On ediets there is a doctor who runs a support group regarding the emotional part of weight loss. His name is Dr. John Sklare and he also writes on www.lifescript.com and he offers a program called The Inner Diet and you can read about it at www.innerdiet.com. I actually ordered it because I have really liked all the he has had to say on ediets.
i'm an emotional eater, too. when i'm stressed, when i'm sad...
and when i'm okay, i just eat too damned much! i'm often terrible with the portion control. and i don't work out enough.
leaving now for a good long walk...
it seems to be a common theme..emotional eating.
How come when we are emotional we can't CLEAN or something?? LOL Why do we always feel the need to eat???? Damn..my house would be spotless if I was an emotional cleaner!! lol
