Comfort eating

[sahragillani]

So since i have been on exante i realised that im a huge comfort eater! I eat if im bored i eat im upset!
I had a fall out with this guy im seeing and omg all i wanted to do was lay in my bed and cry and eat chocolate! I didnt even realise i had developed a sweet tooth i have always been a savoury kinda girl chips and crisps had been my vice!
Being on exante and bein so strict i knw no i cant have just one because i will eat 10 bars not because im hungry but because food is like a drug! I feel like im in food rehab!
Does anyone else get like this?

Absolutely!

I lose weight, some thing bad happens, I comfort eat and put that weight back on again. So the cycle begins again!

Not any more though, this time it's for good! I have to keep telling myself that, drumming it in. Sick of dieting.

Me too h7ge comfort eater and just genetal food addict, in the past ive done so well on slimming world but since having my last child I just cannot get my head to click into the right place to eat healthy food I just eat crap and loads of it, and im the same as you I just eat one after the other as if its an alcohol addiction or something! I was getting bored of food in general even my fav meals treats and snacks so decided to give this ago ive just finished day 2 and its mental state telling me I want chips etc, tonight was tough I cooked my favourite... toad in the whole, roast pots, veg and gravy as its also my 5yr olds favourite and my mouth was watering the whole time iwas serving it up but I didnt cheat for that im proud! stigglinf to put the watet away and desperately missing wine lol but I need to do this for myself!

Thats great tho 8lb is 8lb over half a stone and if you see how much actual fat that is its surprising, don't give up, im on day 3 and the water is getting to me theres just no flavour I think thats what im missing most, I brushed my teeth 3x yesterday just for some flavour lol nevermind, every minute I have thoughts of just go on a nornal diet you could do it and still get to eat (gave my lil girl a banana yesterday and it made my mouth water like mad) b I t I know I cant make sensible food choices so im on total solution just need to uand in there for my first week as I know the loss will give me an incentive! I dont have any scales at home so uave no idea how im doing all I know is every day is feeling like a week lol we will do tho right! Xx

First week and esp first few days are mental its the carbs i used to be bread junkie! You can buy flavourings to add to your water if that might help and if you search the forum theres loads of other suggestions too. I try to stick to low carb options as i find the sugars dont appeal to me much trust me you should take measurements and maybe go to boots or something and weigh your self my first week i lost 5lbs

Sorry for all the typos, holding lil one!
I will measure myself I need to get a tape measure! I will weigh myself at the end of week one, I get weighed every Wednesday at a friends house who did the cambridge diet for 19mths and lost 9 and a half stone! Shes put 2st on in 2 years so she goes on and off of it to maintain for abit then has a food fest and goes back in it again but at least shes not put it all back on! It really does make me question if I should just give slimming world another go lol at least I can eat but ive gotta give this a chance ti work! I get chronic tummy rambling too its very noisy! how did you know you were in ketosis?

I might not be the best person to advise you about ketosis because i havnt really done total solutions i have a low carb type meal but i drank shed loads of water and my job is very active but i just stopped feelin super hungry but did i wana snatch the burger from my families hands sure i did but i keep focusing on ok i gota do it gota get rid of the weight!
I never tried weight watchers or slimming world i just like that ok the packs are calorie controlled i just add a small healthy meal i dont have to think too much about food like stopped obbsessing so im not focused on ketosis more as a calorie controlled diet for me

Thats great for you and if it helps you feel more in control then thats wha5s gona get you weight loss I dont know if im in it either, lol I guess for me becaus3 ive had good losses on slimming world and pay a fiver a week to go I expect this to be a super weight loosing diet lol but at the minute I just know im not in control of my food so even tho pricey this seemed like a good option for me! Will see how it goes hope your weight loss stays steadu and most importantly you're happy will keep an eye out for you
