I am new to this website, been going to join for months but always an excuse, just like my dieting.
But today I decided I am an adult and time to accept responsiblity for myself and quit blaming my weight on anything but the fact I cannot keep my mouth shut.
I am a nursing supervisor, work 12 hour nights. Have been on nights for 20 years.
So of course on my days off, I am awake late at night and either watching TV or on the computer while the hubby sleeps (he works days)
And then the binge starts....ice cream, chocolate, chips, ANYTHING
Why do I do this to myself? I can be as good as gold all day, stick to my diet plan, no junk food and then BANG the witching hour hits and my mouth is open and stuffed. So I go to bed feeling discouraged, depressed, stuffed like a pig, and disgusted with myself.
I feel like the worlds biggest loser and not in a good way.
I am also an emotional eater, so I have two crosses to bear. You would think as a nurse I would know better..
So I am giving this a chance, I need to know I am not alone in my battle, my war
Thanks for listening

You are definitely not alone. There are many of us who struggle with exactly the same thing that you do. I'm also pretty good at not bingeing in the daytime, but when night comes around, I can go absolutely crazy. What I've done, is probably something you can't do, because of your hubby, but I keep nothing but my Lean Cuisine's (for lunch and dinner), Cheerios, and oatmeal in my apartment. I can't keep anything else, or I'll binge on it. Sometimes I even binge on my frozen dinners, although some of them are quite pricey, so I manage not to do that the majority of the time.
