Re: Emotional eating issues (possible TW?)

[siofrabunnies]

I'm also an emotional eater. There are three things that help me.

1. If you can handle it, track your food. This is especially helpful to lose weight, as well. Use a notebook or something like MyFitnessPal or SparkPeople (what I use). Just make sure you don't get obsessive about tracking. You don't want to go too far the "other way".

2. Don't buy your comfort foods if you know you're going to be stressed. I've finally gotten good about this, although I still need my husband's help at times. If I'm stressed or going to be, I tell him "Make sure I don't buy pizza rolls" or whatever I'm after. This takes a lot of practice, but I'm so happy I can finally do this.

3. If you're going to buy comfort foods, buy only one or two and keep yourself to a limit. "I can have one serving of whatever each day" or "I'm crying, so two pieces of this." You can go further by making it inconvenient to get to, like freezing it or putting it in that horrible cupboard above the fridge you can't reach.

Go easy on yourself. It's so much harder if you're hard on yourself. I learned the hard way that being too down on myself would just make me more emotional, which made me want to eat more, which made me... Yeah. That's not fun. It's really not a big deal if you end up eating a bag of chips; just try to do better tomorrow! Eventually, you'll get better at trying, and get better at succeeding.
