I do apologize if this is an "overdone" thread, but I figure if I need support or advice, there are probably other people who do too.
One of my coworkers has lost 27 lbs w/ WW since March. I asked her if she's ever had days where she wasn't on plan, or if she fell off the wagon. She never has. The most she did was have an extra beer that wasn't calculated for... Here I am messing around with the same ten to fifteen pounds. I can lose it fine, but when ever I am anxious, sad, upset, nervous, I tend to eat...it's not just certain foods, but food in general ( although rarely fruits and veggies). My dilemma is that I can't get rid of food, as there are other people living in my house, and other people who eat at work...and since I eat these foods fine otherwise... I'm at a loss. I can't always go for a walk, or whip out my journal..

Has anyone ever gone through this? It's almost like I'm sabotaging myself. I get about two weeks in, doing well, and bam! I eat, feel guilty, and feel like giving up. It's been going on like this for months. I don't go to meetings because I can't afford to, nor are there meetings available around me that I could go to, due to time restrictions and distances.

Currently, my goal is to wear a size 8 pr of pants. I am five seven, and weigh 154. I can get the pants on, and buttonned, but I can't stick my hands in the pockets at all...my first goal is to get those pants on...

If anything, thank you for listening to me., letting me vent. I'm not sure what I'm going to do..I get fired up, and then I lose, and then I gain it back..I'm so used to it by now....

Yes most everyone has been there. Truly there are some who will say they never struggle or have been off plan and I tend to think that at some point they were even if it is just 1 beer.

Emotional eating tends to go deeper and you may need some counseling (even just reading some books) to find a way for that instant gratification that you equate food too.

Next time you want to reach for food when you are feeling "anxious, sad, upset, nervous," etc try reaching for you athletic shoes and do some exercise instead and see if that helps.

I've lost about 50 lbs and heck yes I still have days where I'm "off" or fell off the band wagon (this week being one of them ) It's a daily struggle for me. Whether I'm bored, stressed or whatever.
