Whilst doing SS i kept a food/mood diary and from that i realised that i am an emotional eater, especially when i feel sad, angry and sometimes happy (i think thats odd). I wasn't aware of this before because my weight gain was due to medication. I guess i must have developed bad eating habits over the past 18 months or so after i was diagnosed with my illness (and maybe when i was unwell too).
Anyway, i was just wondering if anyone could reccomend anything to help with emotional eating and how to tackle it. I have been trying hard to stay focused on CD stabilistaion steps for the past few weeks but this week i have had to fight that voice in my head thats wants me to eat junk food because i have been a little depressed.
I am thinking of looking into what PMK has to offer as well as other hypnotherapy that may help. I was just wondering if there are any workshops or something similar that are offered for this kinda thing?? I am a hands on kinda person and i like to be practical when tackling things because thats when i feel like i am doing something about it (hope that didnt sound wierd). I really want to tackle my emotional eating problems and enjoy my life.
I have been having a tough day today aswell, my cousin passed away this morning and it was a complete shock. He had been unwell for a while but he was recovering well. Everytime i think of him i cant stop crying (TOTM doesn't help either) because i grew up with him and he was such a good person. Life can be so unfair sometimes, their family have to deal with so much.
Anyway, i'l shut up now before i start crying again. I hope everyone is doing well.
