So I just totally realized something... I don't emotionally eat anymore, nor do I emotionally drink as much either (I do sometimes when I'm stressed from work, and there has been a lot of stress lately). I snack, but it's not because I'm bored or upset or depressed or anything, and I never really realized it until today. I'm still working on being consistent with my eating, like eating the right foods and I have yet to incorporate a workout routine every day, but it's things like this that make me realize that I'm on my way to healthiness.

Woot woot!

That's awesome! Way to go! I find that that seems to be one of my biggest struggles as I go through this, must feel great to overcome that hurdle!

Oh my gosh... I actually think that's an even bigger accomplishment than reaching your goal! I've struggled with emotional eating/bingeing for a long time, so it's UNBELIEVABLE that you've overcome it. Congratulations, and keep up the good work!

Do you have any advice for the emotional eaters among us (me...)?

I agree with JMC! That is an amazing accomplishment! Congrats!

And yes, do share tips if you have 'em.

Honestly it's just keeping myself busy. I don't really have time to even think about being depressed or upset (even though things with work are getting really stressful). My best advice is to just busy yourself and not even think about things and just do.

of course, there are days every now and then when I get fast food for lunch at work but it's getting more and more rare (and also because I don't have a lot of money).
