Hi all
I've yet to embark on the cambridge weight plan. Am planning to start on it in 3 weeks time. I have some concerns though, and any advice from you guys will be greatly appreciated!
I don't have a normal r/s with food. I'm a comfort eater, and I turn to food when stressed, bored, tired, happy. It's the only thing that relaxes and calms me down. ( though I feel horrible after the binge) I've tried to eat sensibly, but when my emotions run high...I feel so anxious that I give in.
I am so scared of the emotions that will emerge when I don't have food to comfort me when I start the cambridge diet. I really do want to lose weight, I am so sick and tired of being fat and tired, so sick of having food rule my life but yet I am terried of the anxiety that will emerge without food as a coping mechanism.
Do any of you comfort eat, and how did you cope without having food to calm you down?
