Emotional eating, that is one of my problems.

As much as I try sometimes to eat healthy, it is on those days, when I am really stressed out that I eat what I should not be eating and in amounts that are not even good for me.

It is hard to admit it, sometimes I just do not even know how I was able to finish that bag of chips in such a short period of time, but I do. And I am not proud, I am really ashamed and I feel so bad about myself, than then again I feel depressed and I eat something else. And that is how the circle goes.

I have tried yoga, meditation, you name it. And guess what? I am still an emotional eater.

Lately life has been complicated. There have been too many things going on at once. Lots of work, pressure at work, money issues, and I can keep going, and going and I am sure I can justify my bad eating habits.

I have to try to control myself. Writing this is not easy. I am being vulnerable, and I do not like it, but you know what, I need it.

I need your comments, not only support ladies (or gentleman), I need the stop it, you know it is bad, do not do it again.

I am so frustrated with myself right now. And the circle or emotional eating is not helping. I need to make big changes; I just do not know how to start. 

Any advice?  I really some....

Hugs! I think many of us can relate to this. I think you writing about this is a breakthrough on moving to a place where this won't control you. Owning your emotions can be the best thing.
I have to recognize when I do it and replace it with something else even if it's eating celery.
We are all just a tweet away :)

I can totally relate - I'm working on becoming a reformed emotional eater myself. I think for me, the best thing to do is to make the food difficult to get. For example, if I have a package of cookies sitting around, I will eat the cookies. If I have to actually bake the cookies, then I won't do it. This not only helps me stop and think before I eat, it also keeps down the amount of processed foods lying around. That's about the only hint I can give you! Just remember, every journey starts with a single step!

I'm right there with you. I try to not keep too many snacks in the house and if I do they are good snacks (veggies!). Make a list of okay snacks and always keep them in your house.

Also make a list of things you can do instead of snacking on the fridge and pantry!!

- Do 50 jumping jacks come back if you are still hungry.
- Drink a full glass of water wait 5 minutes come back if you are still hungry.
- do a craft
- paint your nails
- write in a journal
- get on facebook

My best advice is to not buy anything you would typically binge eat on. That is the only thing I can do to keep myself from going face down in some cookies or some other junk. Hugs!

I'm an emotional eater, too. What can you have in the house that would be ok if you found yourself on a binge. Carrots and ranch? Cheese and apples? Don't deny yourself, but maybe find some healthier options?
