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.
i do it too.... I'm losing weight and this afternoon it was a difficult afternoon with my 2yr old and I decided the chocolate frog in the pantry was a good option to destress!!!! arghhh wish I hadnt eaten it.... oh well tomorrow is a NEW day remember
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
