Need some self control

[frecklejuice]

I am 155. They only time I have been able to lose more than 10 lbs was last year while under some unusually severe stress. I lost 35 lbs. I loved being that small. I loved not pigging out.

My biggest problem is eating out of boredom. I overeat to get stimulation. I have no self control. I want something to eat now. I am struggling. It seems so silly that I cannot resist something that will hurt me. I am not hungry but I eat anyway.

I need self control and support.

Thank you and Merry Christmas!!!

Hey I find myself doing that too...eating because i have nothing else to do. Thats why i try to stay active and put all my focus on something else....like reading (mostly schoolwork for me) or by doing something i enjoy...like dancing...and plus i get a workout. Especially if i can get out of the house and do something....im not thinking about food. I know its hard but if you put your mind to it and put all your energy into something else that you enjoy doing...you wont be hungy. I hope i helped....im new to this =)

=)
