My, my, my,. Had a big binge early hours this morning after being rudely awaken by the noisy neighbour upsatirs. It's was bad enough listening to his bad taste in music word for word 2 days running during the day but to be woken at 1:55am to some form of folk music was just too much. I so wanted to go up there and telling him about himself but knew I would get hurt. So instead with my blood boiling I dived into the cake and piled in the fluff and then devoured it without it touching the sides going down
. I was then woken again this morning by his squeaky bed lol. The thought of eating now has made me feel ill lol!
Very disappointed with myself but have found that I maybe an emotional eater!
Now I will have to try and reign it in this morning and the rest of the week

I am defo an emotional eater. I eat when I'm happy/sad/depressed & any other feelings you can imagine.
I really need to stop it.

Me too my lovelies! My "grandad" is a nasty spiteful man who it is impossible to please. My mum, myself and my gran have all been domestically abused by him, emotionally, mentally and physically too. I don't know how the hell my gran put up with it (she died in 96). In those days you really made your bed and lay in it
. To everyone outside the family he has always been such a 'nice man' but pfft. I mean, he even admitted to a
vicar that if he saw something he wanted - wherever it was/whoever it belonged to - he would steal it for himself.
He's always been a horrible man and we ended up caring for him since my gran died and then 8 years ago it became 24/7 pretty much and then we ended up seriously depressed/stressed/eating real **** to make ourselves feel better. in 2010 he was diagnosed with dementia (and trust me, it got worse
) but thankfully he's now been in a care home for 18 months and it's calming down - we've made our visits once a month - for two hours only - just because we
have to (because he needs things or the lady is going to cut his nails (who is a SWEETHEART!!!)
But yes. It's set in the way that a) food needed to be convinient (takeaway/sandwiches/crisps/pop) and junk to fill in the hole. It's a hell of a habit to break isn't it!
I agree but how?! I have no idea where to start. I have already given up smoking! Which doesn't help. Maybe play computer games again. That used to keep my hands from going to my mouth lol.

I think what we need to do is maybe have a little support thread for emotional/comfort eating where we can sound off without reaching for food and try and make ourselves feel better?
We also need to get out the habit of rewarding ourselves with food (used to be 'gone to see twatbag, have a bag of sweets!' 'ugh, he hasn't washed (even in the care home it's not great - he still doesn't wash his hands after being to the toilet either end (sorry!) - mum ended up with D&S in January from him because of this) so lets get straight in, shower, and then a sandwich will do. It's all so emotionally draining even now... so we need to plan ahead.
When we know there's going to be some form of stress we shoul dmaybe prepare something in advance? Or if we really do need a reward maybe get the healthiest way of doing it possible? Like weightwatchers bread at 50cal a slice for a sandwich? Salad stuff? Lighter cheese? Weightwatchers bacon? (70 cals a medallion?) etc etc.
Buy something non-food based for a treat? Shoes? Handbag? Top? Pyjamas? Magazine? What do you fancy that is a proper treat?
We can dooooo it together
