How do you cope with emotional eating???

[headdown]

Hi all

Day 5 for me and I am doing ok. Been adding a small piece of protein such as chicken or a tin of tuna each day as I am on penicillin which I finish today.

What I want to know is how do you all cope when you are basically p****d off!

Having a really crap day, feel chewed to bits and just feel like eating ...... Actually cried at work because that annoyed with my daughters attitude, selfish 18 year old

She even was horrible to say 'what's the matter with you, you in a one cos u on the shakes'.

She does my head right in. Feel like going home locking myself in the house and eating nice things!!

Please help me x x

it must be hard for you to deal with an 18 year old, i though i had it hard with a 3 year old at least i can tell mine off and her listen ish. The only thing i can suggest when you feel the need to eat, do something else, have a coffee or go for a walk to clear your head, as time goes on you will stop looking to food but in the mean time just keep yourself occupied. I like to put some feel good music on and clean lol or if i am having a major wobble we get in the car turn up the music and drive until i have forgotten what the problem is, may take 5 mins may take 20 but it stops me from eating.

good luck, stay strong and keep going.
