Overeating

I am unfortunately one of those types of people who when upset, overeats. There used to be a time when I wouldnt be able to eat at all if I was stressed or upset, and I miss those days. Now its anything that brings me down, I notice Ill eat soo much more than I normally do. Like today. I think im just in a mode of depression… not one where I mope and cry everyday… its more like I oversleep… sleep at every opportunity I get sort of to run away from reality… just dont care about myself anymore… and that shows in my eating habits. I’ll eat all the junk in the world late at night… during the day im fine… but when I get home… damn it a mess. Tonight I went out just to buy some breakfast stuff for tomorrow and ended up buying $70 worth of puddings, donuts, bread, cheeses, chocolates, cookies, crackers, cupcakes, and ice cream… im scared at the rate ive been going at it it’ll all be finished by the morning (I have 4 hrs left before I sleep.)

How the heck do I stop this? The scale isnt enough of a motivation because i simply go to the gym the next day and I havent seen major weight gain… regardless its unhealthy.

Re: Overeating

More than the overeating issue, you need to find out why you are stressed and depressed, then work on taking charge of that problem. Everything else will fall into place.
