Hi everyone I'm new here (just registered this evening) and I need some insight.
Actually, I really need a friend.
I've been feeling upset or stressed and I tend to stress-eat (I didn't want to put this in the overeating/binge help thread because it isn't that extreme)
But I tend to eat more when I'm on breaks at work or out with friends; it's not the amount so much as the types of food I'm eating.
Usually it's chocolate, candy, or comfort foods, maybe Starbucks, whatever I feel like I want. After I eat I end up feeling worse because the temporary happy feeling fades as soon as I realize what I've done...
How do I stop it? Should I set alarms or put important notes in my phone to remind myself not to waste money on stress snacking?
It's really gotten out of hand and I will take any advice I can get at this point (if this has to be moved to a different thread I understand.)
