your one of many of us
HI there
many women struggle with emotional eating so if I can provide some support by saying your not alone I hope that helps.
I notice emotional eating can become a vicious cycle. SO the hard part is starting to break the cycle by noticing when and what u put in your mouth throughout your days. I know for me when I get angry or or stressed with life realities I feel food is comforting so I'm apt to turning to it. I realize when PMS i get overly emotional and I jturn to food instead of dealing.
its NOT EASY. OVERCOMING emotional eating takes TIME. I can't say there is a specific "cure" for it . There isn't. YOUhave to make a conscious effort to want to DEAL with whatever it is thats bothering you. Take baby steps at first. Write down everything you eat , the times you eat and why you ate. FIND out WHY YOU ATE that specific food. THIS WAY you'll realize yoru Triggers!
hope this helsp hang in there. ALso talking with frineds and on thboard about issues u need advice on REALLy HELPS! Sometimes all u need is to spill your guts and know someone cares enough to listen!! GO OUT WITH THE GIRLS next time u feel stressed or upset about something, and chat it up . I FIND this really helps!!
be well
Piera
