Anyone an Emotional Eater?
I'm going through alot of emotionally stressful time right now and for the last 2 weeks i slipped into my old ways eating when i'm stressed out and sad.
I don't like it...how do you overcome it? What do you do to not do it?
I know i am eating cause of emotions cause i am not hungry. It's just a constant grazing.
Thanks!

I have been doing this lately. When I feel like this, I brush my teeth and use mouthwash. For me, it works, because I HATE eating right after I've brushed my teeth.

It will sound stupid, but those bad habits disappeared when I started therapy. Instead of eating a cookie when somethng upset me, I learned to talk about it and deal with the emotion, instead of finding an alternative outlet.
That, and working out. When I'm upset or stressed, I use that energy to workout instead. It's a great release.

ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know that it will always be something I struggle with....I just try to take it a day at a time and allow myself some eating mistakes...not beat myself up about it too much...but then force the eating pity party to end and then get back on track.

I am not really an emotional eater, but I have moments when I just want to eat for no reason, like I must be stressed out about something or whatever. I walk away... what I mean is, if I am at home, I go outside and take a walk. If I am at work even, I'll just get up and walk around the building for a few minutes or something. It just helps me to re-focus.

I wasn't ever, but I turned into one this summer.
Now with this week's drama of my baby's asthma attack, it confirms it.
Beth, thanks for sharing about the therapy...
Last night I told Leo that I have to find a therapist, I am too overwhelmed...if it will lead to me sheding pounds I will pick up the phone that much quicker.
