If I'm sad I give myself a 'pass' and lie to myself..."it's just one donut or just one spoonful of Nutella". My new career is full of ups and downs, too. Depending on the day and time I'm stress free then a minute later I'm so stressed out I could cry.
I suffer from depression and used to eat for comfort as well. I have managewell avoid stress eating he last few months and have had weeks of being very depressed. Be more positive with yourself even during dark periods. Give yourself more credit. If u don't think u can do it then chances r u won't be able too. Wake up and think something positive even if u feel it is nearly impossible. At the end of the day tell yourself some reasons why u r proud of yourself. If u do fall off the wagon there is always tomorrow. With time u will get better at making good judgment calls. Imagine how many of us on here felt we couldn't do it, or had serious problems with food and then look at all we have accomplished. U really can do it, join a monthly weight in challenge to keep yourself accountable or us my fitness pal to keep track of your calories.
Good luck! x
