Feeling sad so want to comfort eat

[JaiynDough]

I might have to move from where I live for family responsibility reasons. I want to care for the relative but I also want to live where I live. It's not going to be feasible to do both.

I've been making progress with my weight recently, and, I'm skint so can't really afford to go and buy more food. I'm facing a week of yoghurt, salad, soup this week.

But, I feel sad and want sausages or fish fingers, mash/chips, beans, or chips & pitta and sponge and custard. Also maybe some crisps after seeing the crisp thread this morning. Or a cheesy croissant.

I know eating anything like that will make me feel like shit physically though.

Talk me down!

Eating the food will make you feel worse within 5 minutes of finishing it and undo all your hard work. What else can you do to soothe and care for yourself? And paint your nails so you can't eat anything!

I painted my nails yesterday.

I compromised on Greek yoghurt, nuts and a bit of tinned fruit cocktail, that I don't normally have due to the sugars.

Going to have eggs and avocado for lunch to stave off hunger.

I just have to ride it out. And lots of tea.

I was so stressed at work yesterday that I ate a giant bag of aero golden honeycomb things.

I don't eat sugar or carbs usually so spent the rest of the day feeling sick and bloated

Don't do it!! X

Put some cheesy tunes on and go for a walk (perhaps a bit later once it's cooled) always helps me.

I caved. I had nuggets chips and beans for dinner with the roll.

I paid for it later, as I don't eat bread normally the butter has been in the fridge for a while and tasted a bit funny. Felt so sick by the time I went to bed, although I wasn't sick.

Going to do a fair bit of exercise today to try to help it all clear from my system ASAP. I might start with a walk and go for a swim.
