I have no problems with working out, as matter of fact I love working out. It's eating that I have a the biggest problem. I am a total emotional eater. Especially when I'm stressed out. It's always nice to know you are not alone in your problems. I recommend you check it out. So far It's a great book and I'm only to chapter 3.

Funny you say that! I've been a gym rat for the past 30 years. My weight has been all over the board too, but my working out was always consistent. I too am an emotional /stress eater....gotta work on that...

Mandy I will check it out.. I too am a huge emotional eater and for years when I was in my 20s I had a really bad food binge addiction which caused a lot of problems I thought I would grow out of it and told my self I grew out of it but you know .. you don't grow out of it you can control it that is for sure but it never goes away or at least that is for me.. Thanks for shearing.. I am going to look on my kindle now.. Report Inappropriate Comment |

Mandy, I think I could have written this. If it weren't for emotional eating, I don't think I'd have a weight problem.

I only exercise so that I can eat cake when I want! Ha. I have to admit, I think I am an emotional eater too. I never really thought I was til this past fall when my Dad passed away. I got sick of crying, so I started eating s'mores ever day. Then I noticed that I was eating when I was upset about other things. It gets ugly when you step back and have a peek at yourself!

I have found cutting out stress has helped a lot. I just don't deal with some of it anymore nor get worked up over it. Stress can do a lot of damage not just in eating!! Good luck! Report Inappropriate Comment |
It's the most wonderful time of the year to struggle :)
Man, I need to get back on track I have good days and bad days but lately it's been more bad than good. I know I just need to focus and dig deep. I always knew this journey wouldn't be easy but man its really hard some days.
I guess I'm saying I need support.

Baby steps!! You don't have to make big, sudden changes. Just make a small change here and there - something is always better than nothing!

Take small bites! Draw an easy line in the sand, someplace on your path. Say to yourself, I may not be able to do all I want now, but I can do something. Draw one inviolable line and stick to that and VOILA, you now have a victory to work out from then.

Mandy, I have to keep telling myself that this is a lifestyle change and it will take time. Of course, it seems to take longer than I want, and I know that maintenance is the hardest for me to succeed at - other wise I wouldn't keep gaining it back. I believe in you. I believe in me.

This time of year is definitely a challenge. I was getting pretty derailed myself a few weeks back. I set up a few Spark streak trackers for myself so I could be sure to really focus every day right through the end of the year, and this has really helped me.
