I eat when I am bored, I eat when I am tired, I eat when I am frustrated. I am constantly eating for reasons other than hunger. How do I stop? It's like it just slips under my radar and next thing I know, I have polished off a whole pie, or cookies or bag of potato chips.

We all need encouragement! Some of us are trying to check in with each other at least on Sundays...Please feel free to join us! How it works: On the "How was your day?" section--Write the caption: "Check In Sunday". Then we write how our week went, what our goals are for the following week, how we are feeling etc. Hope to see you there!🌸
I checked Taffy. I love checking in. I’m 157 today. How are you doing Taffy?
Can anyone tell me if they have had true success with this drug? From a food addict stand point? Does it truly take away the pleasure you get from eating?
I just started taking the two drugs. It's been about 4 days. The naltrexone starts working almost immediately. I find myself not thinking about food nearly as much as I used to. I also no longer seem… read more
What would you think of doing a daily check in (or perhaps a weekly one, at least initially)?
This would give us the opportunity to share our ups and downs and give each other encouragement.
I think this is a great idea...I feel very alone...
People always think that because you're overweight that means you overeat. My doctor has actually told me that I need to eat more, but I don't normally have an appetite. I need meal suggestions to help increase my food intake. What can I do? Eating when I'm not hungry makes me nauseous, and my meds suggest I eat.
I like the protein cheese, nut snacks are good for that. wheni worked i would set an alarm for 2-3 hours and eat one of the small snacks. it helps stay off the blood sugar hills and vally's.
Fat-shaming is very damaging and its perpetrators tend to be sadistic. What we need to know is who does it and why they do it. In motives we can discern actions, your story can help put an end to it. Be brave.
What about you @A MyObesityTeam Member?
I am having a hard time just finding the energy and motivation to even start anything. I know what I need to do, i make the plan to do it but then just can't bring myself to get moving. It's like I talk myself out of it before I even get started.
Put your music on every morning.
Start looking at weigh loss a different way! We really really have to be committed no matter what. My older son and daughter has ALWAYS had it. He had to stay fit for football and my daughter wanted… read more
My husband always tells me that I look great and that he loves me no matter what. Tough problem, right? :-) But I don't feel great. I felt great when I was 40 lbs lighter. I accept what he says and let it sway me to act in a way that is not in my best interests - going out to eat, eating what I know I shouldn't, drinking, not exercising. I know I wouldn't want him to think less of me or love me less because of my weight. I just want to know how to not use it as an allowance or excuse for… read more
I truly understand that feeling, because my boo is like that as well. I feel the same way. I'm not happy with my life because of my weight issues.
Just joined in hope of some support and good information. Is there anywhere on this site that provides nutrition information? Like a suggested healthy meal planner or something?
