I eat because I'm unhappy, and I'm unhappy because I eat. It's a vicious cycle

Totally agree with Jenniefahhhh

dittoooo !!!! I eat because I miss my husband

I know how you feel. When I get pissed at something I just want to eat. Food is like my drug. If I don't eat I just get more and more upset until I do.. It really sucks.

I eat because I'm bored, lonely, sad, stressed...I pretty much eat all the time. I'm breastfeeding twins and I'm still GAINING weight!

I've gotten a lot better than I was before, but thats because I picked up an even worse habit. I smoke now.

I wish I could cut both out. But if it's not one, it's the other.

I eat when I get bored. I'll find myself on auto pilot to the kitchen staring aimlessly in the fridge. Even if I'm not hungry, I hate it.

I also hate that I eat like a HUGE lunch to make up for not eating breakfast, stay full all day then go eat a big dinner just because I know I need to eat, even if I'm no where near hungry.

I eat when I'm bored. All day long being a SAHM. But hopefully I'll be getting a job soon and I won't have the time to snack all day long.

I am breastfeeding also. My weight goes up and down. I just don't know what to do anymore.

Today my mom pissed me off and I indulged in an extra helping of mac salad..

I gained weight when I was BF too.

I gained a lot of weight while breastfeeding too. After I had my daughter I lost 20 something pounds within the first week and a half, then we moved and I got depressed and just ate to make myself feel better, I always used the excuse that I was eating to feed my kid too.

Idk if I was trying to convince other people, or myself.

I used to smoke and it was better when I did. But now that I quit, its back to the food.

Unfortunately, that's not always the case. I thought once I got my job I'd stop snacking so much, but customers would always bring us goodies and some days would be so slow I had nothing better to do.

  When I was smoking half a pack a day, I was a skinny bitch! Now, I rarely ever smoke, and I'm a eating machine.

I do that too.. One thing I'm HORRIBLE with is that if I go out somewhere and get food, if it's good, I feel obligated to eat EVERY LAST BITE. Otherwise, I'll be pissed at myself later thinking how great the food was and that I didn't finish it all.
