    I should just give up.

    Hi Becca, It's hard trying to figure out why we eat too much. For me I'm sure it's emotional. Some people stop eatingf when stressed and others (like me!!) reach for the biscuits. Don't beat yourself up too much, you've done so well this far. Move up the plans as you say you will and take it...
