Hi there. I am a binger/emotional eater as well. I have been "starting tomorrow" for the last 10 years. I know I can do this (lose the weight) because I have done it before.
I just need to get my head right -- I cannot use the same methods for doing that as I did in High School or College because now I am a mom and stay at home. I have to find some other motivation. My health should be enough, right? But unfortunately it isn't. My husband even said he'd give me ANYTHING I want if I lose this weight but even that doesn't seem to be enough, otherwise the weight would be gone by now.
A day at a time, 3 meals a day. I am aiming for 1400 calories a day, and I find it easier to stay on track during the day. As the day goes on my willpower seems to fade. So saving up a good amount of those calories for evening works best for me.
