When I am feeling that need-to-eat-because-of-my-emotions I try to choose hot tea instead. It satisfies the oral fixation but doesn’t add inches back to my waist. Just my little trick.

Life can throw you some curve balls. But not punishing ourselves too much for our mistakes and learning from the struggles makes us stronger people in the end.

Kudos for not giving up! It takes time to make a lifestyle change. It is a process.

I completely understand how difficult this must be. I too am an emotional eater. Since I’ve joined Nutrisystem though, I have been dealing with it quite well. I’ve been making sure to eat all of the unlimited foods, and when I feel like I really need something I pick something that isn’t too bad. For instance, on Friday’s I have a “free day” and I’ll get one of the low fat chinese boxes from the grocery store. They only have 2.5g of fat, and are soo delicious!

Like Dawn said, Hang in there. You may have had a bad week, but just stay positive, and the next few weeks will be great 🙂

Losing weight is a learning process, and is not easy. We have to face a lot of obsticles and emotional eating is one of them.

You are doing so much more than losing weight and I know you can do this!
