Being an emotional eater-i'm stressed out!

I have discovered that i am an emotional eater, so along with my new psch dr, that is someting i will overcome as it will hinder my success if i do not.  I decided to vent, maybe it will make me feel better,  i am at work and surrounded by junk, so i packed a goodie bag of fruit, cheerios and some grape nuts. I am drinking water right now, normally when i am stressed out i look to stuff my face.  I guess this is a true test of my will power and my desire to change. 

I am in my last class of my 2nd masters (why-hell i don't know), it's a business class and nothing in the class is going right.  We have a stupid business simulation game we must complete and it's all a mess.  I am suprised i have not felt the urge to munch, i guess this vent has helped.  Maybe i will blog, i think being able to communicate here where i am not judged really helps. 

I'm sure this has made no sense-lol

Parts of this makes very good sense! But even if it didn't ...thats okay! As long as it helps you to get it out.
I am glad you recognize and take responsibility for your emotional eating. This will be a key to your long term success with wls. Arm yourself with alternative actions to take instead of eating, and you will feel so good and strong and proud!
Thanks for sharing here. Glad to be here to listen and help when I can.

good for you taking a goody bag.  that way you aren't at the mercy of the vending ma*****es.  it is great you are venting.  hang in there gal. you are tough, you can do it. vick

You sound just like me. .....

Glad you stopped to share and do something much better for yourself.  Wonderful insight.  Hugs, vent away, Kathy

I have the same problem so I know where you're coming from. I am trying to learn to recognize my emotions and express them and deal with them, instead of eating them away. It's not easy though! But we can do it, right?! Good for you for packing your goodie bag and taking care of yourself. I seem to have the hardest time doing that, although I have done it for family members many times. Like I can make time for others but not myself, you know? But I am trying to change and remind myself to love and cherish my body. After all, I have put it thru so much for so long, it deserves lots of tender loving care! I think blogging is great, and it defintely helps to come here where people identify with each other and are SO supportive. So write, write, write and keep up the good work!

it's funny today i went to mcdonalds for my mom and dtr, i did not even desire to order me anything, i guess it's the fact that i am really committed to this.  My mom even offered me a fry, and it smelled so good yet i declined.  She normally will not eat that food in front of me but she and my dtr were starving so i pulled in and  got THEM something.  I am really proud of myself, i did not even try to sneak a fry-lol
