Just wanted to say hi as this forum seems really great
I am on the first day of a lifestyle change and on a mission to conquer the binge eating issues that I have been tackling for a really long time.
I think it has taken me so long to start because I don't want to fail- again. I am always saying I will start tomorrow and have been doing it for about a month now so enough is enough.
I would love to hear any tips from others on how to tackle emotional eating- I have a few things going on at the moment and that seems to be triggering excessive secret binging- I will go out shopping alone just so that I can eat without anyone knowing and now last years summer wardrobe will barely fit up my thighs
Its definitely time to admit I have a problem.
Anyway- Hi everyone

Hi PinkWombat!

I'm fairly new here too but this forum is amazing! Lots of support and an abundance of wisdom available!

I've used to have a emotional eating problem too... when I'm really stressed, I'll stroll to the mall and get myself an extra large, deep fried chicken cutlet and I'll lace it with mayo and mustard, then devour the whole thing.

Now my emotional hunger is much under control! I found things that I like to do besides eating. (doodle, listening to songs, watch videos etc) and these things make me feel happier! when I feel happier, my emotional hunger subsides. It gets easier after a while.

So anyway welcome again! And see you around!
