That's me in a peak tax period. The stress makes me want to eat everything but I know I mustn't eat bad stuff so I end up pigging out on cheese. Stress is a 😈  

I have had a few of those days. I'm struggling to get back on track... We can do this! We just need to focus.  

Two of my friends lose their appetite when they are stressed! How lucky is that?! I would be stick-thin if that was the case with me. Oh, and also, I'm lazy. To get out the door to exercise is the hardest thing for me. I work best when I have a training-buddy. Going to find me one this week! 

we all experience those days, weeks I had that for a couple of months.....when you ready you simply just get up again and start again.  

Joined recently I'm also an emotional eater/binger Anyone on this group who lives close to Sonstraal Dam, Durbanville in South Africa?  

God will see you through I can’t imagine how you feel but all is well one day you will get back  

I know how that feels. I pray that God will heal your pain.  

Sending love and light 🤗❤️ 

Is there something you can replace with something you enjoy as-well? I am not in great space either 

For me when ibam in a bad space I tend to move towards excersise. Find a hobby to take your mind off of things try keep busy. It's hard at times but remember you doing it for you. Thinking of you All  

What you are sharing is really brave and courageous. You're are definitely not alone. Please heal well & eat well. Emotive eating does not help at the end of the day... it is almost like a cycle right? I can almost see you slingshot into the body you wish for yourself! All the best & take care 

Wow guys, thank you sooooo much for your support! I am on a path of self-growth and inner healing, I started seeing a psychologist on a weekly basis, after my initial post. Learning to love and respect myself and my body. I have embraced the ideas suggested by you of getting a new hobby, as well as exercising more in times of stress. Thanks to you all! 

I must say I am a bit of a strange one....when stressed or down in the dumps I tend to not eat....go for days without food and stuff, yea drink coffee that's about it.....nope, it's no good you don't lose any weight...so just as bad as binge eating. Lol Then there are times when j can just stuff my face..... On dont forget the midnight snack thing.....now this is a big problem. I remember growing up, visiting my gran and she would get up every night/Morning 1 and gave toast with tea....so we as kids joined in. Man so with I never did this.......can't seem to shake it.
