why do i sabotage my own diet?

[Anila]

A little voice inside my head says says dont eat that kfc for dinner, but my hand just keeps reaching into the chip packet, and before i know it i have eaten again, more junk

I want to loose weight, i need to loose weight, but i just keep sabotaging myself, and i hate myself for it!

Tonights indulgement is purely emotional, ive had a sucky day, and im eating to comfort myself!

I know im an emotional eater, been so all my life, but i really want to succed this time!

Don't be too hard on yourself But remember how you are feeling right now and use that the next time you want something naughty.

Sorry about your rough day too hun. People can be extremely judgmental.

I know how you feel.

You recognise that you are eating for comfort so maybe think of some other comfort measures you can take - paint your nails, ring your Mum, have a long bath - whatever works for you.

Maybe keep a food dairy for a while and don't just write what you eat, write why you ate it. How were you feeling? What were you doing? What was your inner dialogue? If you can examine your eating a little more closely you might be able to find ways to a healthier relationship with food.

Onyx has given you some great tips...

You need to stop beating yourself up - so, you couldn't stop b/c you were emotionally eating - you have recognised that is your trigger. So, find another outlet to deal with those emotions and stop buying junk food, that way it can't be eaten. ((hugs)) it's really tough to change your mindset. YOu can do this, you just need the right support
