I have always been overweight. I'm an emotional eater who stuffs her face when she's bored or upset. I go on binges when I'm especially upset and then feel awful when I realize what I've done to myself. I finally realized about a week ago, after seeing that I was getting closer to 300 lbs, that I was slowly killing myself. I have everything to live for and I don't want to do this to myself any longer. So I started this past monday (I know, the week of christmas ) counting calories. I am using fitday and doing well...but I feel like an addict coming off of drugs. I crave all this BAD stuff and it has nothing to do with hunger...I want it.
My question is...how long, in your experiences, does it take to get over these cravings? I want to be healthy so bad, but this "addiction" is pretty bad.
Thanks in advance.
