I hear you. I work and am in a grad program I have those long tired stressful weeks where I'm at the hospital 7 days a week and am up at ungodly hours. All I want to do is come home and eat to comfort myself about how tired or stressed I am. I think if you can sort of follow through with smaller, somewhat healthier or smaller portions of things you eat 5 times a day, or snack on things like granola bars and fruit throughout the day, it will help. Anything to keep you from feeling faminshed, shakey and out of control. I have two levels in my house so I try to spend my time upstairs and away from the kitchen. I also try to distinguish when I a hungry and when I'm just bored hungry or sad hungry or stressed hungry. It has always taken ahwile for me to notice the difference but once you do it gets easier when you realize you won't starve to death by not ordering a pizza even though you want one
. After awhile, you can sort of shrink your appetite because your body has to adjust. Once I started losing weight on the scale too again I was motivated to keep on going. I've been just constantly gaining since May so losing 8 lbs of that was great.
Binge free for 2 weeks.
