Help! I can't stop eating!
 

I just started trying to lose weight before Katrina. I lost maybe a lb or two then I evacuated to my fathers house (my hometown.) I gained those back plus a few, the lost it all again. That was the last time I weighed myself. I know I gained it all back because the past week or so I can't stop eating!!! I got my old job back where they make pizza and other foods. I can basicly make whatever I want for free, employees aren't suppose to but they basicly treat me (along with a few others) like a manager. So I've eaten pizza every day I worked. What makes it worse is I'm so tired from working, everything to do with katrina, fixing things in my dad's house and just a unexpected huge change in lifestyle that I have been so tired and lazy. So I haven't had the best diet when I am home and I haven't worked out. I tell myself I'm gonna go to the gym or eat right but without even thinking I don't. Oh! The worst of it all is the soda! I've been drinking so much of it!
I need something to break this. I crave to be skinny and in shape so bad. I feel so gross I'm embarissed to even go to work most days. :(

You're going through a whole lot right now! My sympathy and prayers are with you. If I understand you right, you are still not at home? I don't know how your town fared in the hurricane. That in itself is an immense amount of stress. Then there is the stress of a new home, and it's always difficult as an adult to move back in with parents, even if they are wonderful. ;) Add to that the struggle of weight loss and you've got a lot on your plate! With that in mind, I would suggest very small changes. Maybe first just switch to diet, then add a walk after work. When that is habit, try bringing meals to work. It's hard when you're surrounded by junk food at work to eat right. I would suggest maybe finding someone who wants to lose weight at work to keep you accountable. Don't forget to take time for you too in this hard time. Get a massage or go see a movie to keep yourself relaxed and happy. Good luck and let us know how you're doing! :)
