hello! :wave

Well, even tho I just had a donut tonight, I actually Let Myself have just One. I could have eaten the whole bag easily before, but now I'm learning to like myself even if I have a "cheat"

The other thing I do when I feel the urge to binge is to drink about 4 glasses of water, one after another, until I'm too full to think about wanting food. Sometimes, when I'm feeling really bad, I'll take a vitamin with the water to kind of remind myself that I'm taking care of myself.

It's been really hard not to binge, because I could eat a whole bag of BBQ chips in a sitting, bowls of ice cream and 1/2 box of chocolates. No wonder I became diabetic, huh?

I have to agree that stress has always been a factor in my emotional eating and I've learned that as stress was cut out of my life, whether I wanted it cut out or not, it happened and I have more control of myself.

I'm also learning to try new things, which is really hard for me being the old age of 46, and set in my ways, but I knew I had to get out of my rut and off my butt if I wanted to enjoy the rest (or other half) of my life.

Hope this helps, bless you and take care. I'm rooting for you! :joy
