Anyone else put weight on when they're unhappy?

[CalamityJune]

Urgh, i've just been on the scales and i've put half a stone on in the past three weeks. That's my 4lb that I lost after Christmas back on plus more for good measure.

I'm so unhappy with my j

FAT FINGERS

I'm so unhappy with my job and this has meant that I retreat i to myself, stop all my exercising and eat crap. I struggle to find time and energy to exercise as it is because of this job and while i'm hoping to start something new this year it's a long time coming.

So here I am back at square fucking one. Gutted!

Yes. I have done exactly the same as you. I've put weight on in the last year and it's horrible but I'm very unhappy really.
Work and money and family issues mean I feel very lonely and poor... Just need to get back up again and live withing 1200 Cals a day. Another Monday, another fresh start.

I'm just so annoyed with myself. I knew i was avoiding the scales but I should have just faced it.

I'm normally out of the house from 6am until 5.30pm during the week and I have a toddler so I can't go to exercise classes at night, even if I had the energy to go! I also regularly miss my lunch so by the time I get home i'm starving, or I'll by crap at the petrol station. I'm desperate to change my job to something more local so that i'm not tied up with work so much. It's draining me.

I never used to but have had a significant period of stress. Started fertility tests and waiting for our referral, plus had some ongoing stresses at work and having some house renovation done, so had builders in for the last month.

Struggling to get into a routine and to motivate myself. I can relate to feeling drained.

Yes I’m the same. Like you I am not enjoying my job, but finding a new one is very slow going. Every time I get a rejection I get really down and binge on biscuits. I’m an emotional eater and would love to find a way to not be!

Oh gosh yes I often go all day without eating and then binge. In fact I rarely get lunch for work but the other day I had lunch at work (bought a wrap and some mini fingers) and someone made a comment about it not being very good for my diet. It just made me eat more and then vow never to eat at work again as people are obviously now watching what I'm eating.

I manage a week and then something happens and I binge for the next three days. So basically what I'm saying is - you're not alone

This is so me, my husband is always making a smart comment to 'help me' with my weight but it just makes me so pissed off that I eat more, I eat when I am stressed and after 10 years you would think that he would realise that his helping me isn't working. And I wouldn't mind so much if he looked good himself but he doesn't. Anyway, today is Monday so its a brand new start.

Yep. Comfort eater here.

I'm going to really really work at it from now on. I mean really. If I don't do it now right now I never will. I have to lose weight. I have to stop relying on food to make me feel good. It doesn't. It makes me fat, gives me stomach ache and spots and apparently a social outcast.

I'm going to concentrate on health now. I am doing it. Join me!
