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.
When you find the answer please tell me

I realise that my inability to lose weight is psychological. I've been through a lot of therapy over the years and we've identified the sources and triggers. But even though I am aware of my triggers and emotional eating and secret eating habits, I just can't seem to get into the mindframe of "now I will only eat clean and healthy", "no more bingeing" etc. The big irony is that I do really enjoy eating healthy, but I also go and eat lots of rubbish.

I don't believe in Hypnosis. But,I do know people have tried it before.
I have no idea about anything in Canada, however, a burn center is a burn center. The problem, and solutions are universal. So I would think so. Call them and ask, and let us know.

Has anybody experienced emotional eating verses actual hunger? I have battled eating disorders all my life so the 2 seem to go hand in hand for me
I constantly catch myself wanting or trying to find something to eat when I feel down, stressed, or anxious.
I live alone with my child, and after I put her to bed at night I go into a mode where I eat nonstop. Sometimes I eat stuff in the house, other times I order in food for delivery. This habit is the biggest cause of my weight gain and I can’t seem to stop myself. I would love to learn from anyone who has successfully nipped this behavior in the bud!
