Disgusted with myself-again

The wonderful journey we are all on. I am five years post  r/y...and doing really well.

The secret for me was to replace the stress eating, and depressed eating with excercise at first I had to force myself to go. Now excercise has become my go to when I feel stress taking over...I hit the road for a walk. I also go to the gym twice a week and noticed that in gym days I could handle stressful situations much better!! Essentially, a bomb could go off, and I would handle it much better on gym days....my eating habits are also better on gym days....perhaps the benefits of all the extra natural endorphins. Don't be hard on yourself, it's a journey, not a destination. Be proud that you are still learning how to drive your new body and life ...nothing worthwhile comes easy....hugs

Plenty of people gave good advice on food and activity reminders. Since you named your trigger as social anxiety, I would do a little research on techniques, exercises to help with being less anxious in those situations.
