i have been very stressed lately, and so i have not been making the best food choices, and eating more than i should. my band is trying to tell me to stop, but i choose not to listen. someone help get me back on track and back to the right mindset. i want to hit the 100 lb mark by the end of the year!

Jacole...

Here is a kick in the booty!!! Hopefully that will work....

It is so hard for us emotional eaters....just keep focusing on the goal and how awesome you will feel once you hit the 100 pound mark!

The band was made to overcome just your issue. I've experienced many life stressors over the past year or so and have 'binged'....but the band keeps me in check. It's a great tool.

Jacole...I think that all of us have experienced what you are going through. I think that we have all been using food in the wrong way for so long that we don't know what to do other than eat when were stressed, depressed, overworked or overtired. I come on this site when I know that I am vulneralble. It seems to help me out. I hope you get back on track. Good Luck

Jacole, when possible, what if you go for a walk or do some other exercise or activity when you feel the stress hit? Not only do you not eat then, but you get moving a bit or get something done around the house or in the yard.

Hang in there you are soooooo close to your goal! You are an inspiration to others. Just put this bad time behind you and stop beating yourself up. You have done great! Give yourself credit for that. Start listening to your band again. Good luck and in a month or two let us all celebrate your 100 lbs.
