Hey,

Always willing to lend an ear to listen or just a little pep talk when needed!:)

Hi,

I haven't checked in since Christmas time. I've been struggling the last several weeks. Up and Down 2 or three pounds every week. I'm an emotional eater too. I haven't figured out why I get these overwhelming needs to eat everything in sight. I'm tired of making excuses for myself. Does any of this sound familiar?

:confused:

This is the place for you. Ask any questions you like and read the Training Manual. It is years of collective wisdom. We've all been where you are and we know this can be done. We're not superheros!

Stick around!

Today has been another struggle. I was doing great until 5:00. I was still at work and made BAD choices. I will not quit. My meeting is tomorrow night.
Thanks

I sometimes have issues with emotional eating. right after the holidays we have been going through a very stressful time with a daughter's exboyfriend stalking and harrassing the entire family. I would get home from work and just want to shovel junk into my mouth to give me something to do.

I ended up getting out my knitting needles and yarn, long story short, I am still stressed, we are actually going to court today on it, but I have knit: 3 pairs of slippers, 3 hats, and 2 scarves for the grandkids, now if I could just figure out how to knit mittens to match..

For me the only release for emotional eating except eating is to find something to occupy my hands and my thoughts.

Hey I just started too and I am a huge emotional eater I eat for all of the emotions happy sad mad you name it I have something that tastes good for all of them. So just wanted to tell you that you aren't alone and if you ever want to talk I'll listen and share.

:help: I'm new to BCB also. Yesterday I desided to look for a ww meeting place and I and going to a meeting at 9am today, again. I attended meetings just a couple of years ago, and I reached goal, then I tought I could do it on my own, and in 10 months I have gained 18 pounds of the 50 I lost back. I know ww works, but I have also learned I have to have a support system, and I believe BCB can be apart of that system. Hang in there and stay connected is what I have learned.

I am also new to BCB--I've decided that I need a good support system because I am an emotional eater too. It has been a stressful year with several deaths in my family and my weight is now representative of that stress. I really need help. What do I do when I know what the problem is, but cannot break the habit completely? Does this problem ever become resolved???

[just for me]

By do I understand about emotional eating. I started yesterday making good choices instead of bad chioces. Right now my life is very stressful. Usually I would have eaten entire whole pizza just to deal with everything. Then had to deal with all that guilt. I decided not to that. I have 5 beautiful teenager daughters and I found this site and see people who know how I feel. That is just comforting to know. So I just wanted to say hey I am here and you are definetly not alone. The training manual is wonderful and just reading everyone posting and asking questions is just great.

What a great choice! You are not only doing this for you but for the beautiful daughters who will have such a great role model. :salut

:welcome: I`m kinda new too, still searching the boards reading,learning,getting to know all these wonderful people. When I get the urge to screw up everything I have worked hard for these last two weeks,I log on to BCB and I read the tales of others who have felt the same way, they inspire me and somehow I forget all about my urges. You can do this,just believe in yourself.:strong:

I can totally relate to everything that everyone has said. I'm such an emotional eater. I try to talk myself out of eating because I know that I'm not hungry and then 20 mins later i watch myself pull food out of the fridge. It doesn't help that I don't get home until very late either. I fell like I'm watching a stranger outside of myself. And then I'm like "wow, I had healthier stuff that I could have eaten", but of course I went for the carbs! I heard that excercising helps, does that work for anyone?

[kygrl]

Since walking on my treadmill, I have learned that it takes me about a minute to burn one stinking little calorie. So when I go through the kitchen and I see that piece of cake that has a million calories in it,can I pass it up?? You betcha!!!!:bcb_LOL:
