It has been nice to read the post here and know I"m not alone. I gained over 50 pounds this past year,from binging and emotional eating. I have joined WW and have taken off almost 15 pounds,but this really isn't directing my emotional eating. I have isolated myself,and sometimes eating was and sometimes seems as if it is my only friend. I am in therapy,so hoping that will help. I don't want to take psy. pills,cause am fearful they will only make me gain more weight. I get so disgusted with myself,that I stayed slim so many years,and now am almost at my heaviest. I lost my job,so it seems as if I graze all day. I try to eat healthy when I graze,but sometimes I cave. There have been times I crave sugar so much,and almost in a panic,if I don't have it. I have even squirted honey in my mouth.Sounds so ridiculous. I will keep reading,and hope to learn from all of you. Have a good week.

So sorry you're struggling. It is good that you are getting help because no diet plan in the world can help you heal emotionally.

Best of luck and welcome.

Maybe try to get out and do things you enjoy instead of isolating yourself. I find that just a walk with my dog everyday is helpful in curbing the desire to binge. Good luck. Looks like you've come a long way on your weight loss journey. It's never too late to get back on track and turn things around, even when you feel you have gone backwards.
