Moving out?!?

I had WLS almost five months ago *gulp* and I've lost about 87 lbs for better or worse.  Wish I'd lost more, but hey, I'm not gonna complain.  Here's my issue...I'm moving out to my own apartment to live all by my lonesome...this has the potential to be both good (I'll be away from my family who are a BAD food influence) and bad (I'll be alone...which is when I tend to eat the most).  Does anyone have experience with this???

Honestly. I think it might be harder just because of some of the boredom which could lead to emotional eating, I know that is something I struggle with....One thing that is different though, is that your fridge will be stocked only with stuff that you buy, mine includes junk food for my kids - which I gravitate to sometimes during weaker moments...So, if you are very deliberate in your choices at the grocery store, then even when you do "give in" during instances of boredom, at least you will be giving into something healthy - so I guess my point is that the key is you shop CAREFULLY, because if you buy it, you will eat it, especially if nobody is looiking over your shoulder saying "should you be eating THAT?"

The good part is you will have control over everything in the house.. thats a big help, no temptations around unless you put them there. If you are a bored eater than that is something you need to address NOW - there are great books you can pick up at the bookstore about changing habits and food addiction - there is one that is reccomended called the Beck Diet Solution... I havent read but I am getting ready to - it addresses the emotional side of eating. You have to find other things to do besides eat... read, talk on the phone, take a bath, EXERCISE!!!!!, go online etc.... eating out of bordem is DANGEROUS - find a hobby, sign up for a class, heck pick up a p/t job if necessary - just need to figure out what you like to do that will replace the bored eating.
