I've been so good all week with not over eating. After a particularly busy & stressful week I bought 2 filled doughnuts today, one each for dh & I. I have just eaten both in Tesco car park before I even set off for home!
Luckily he doesn't know, but I don't feel good now feel guilty & fat. But they tasted so good.
How do you cope without emotional over eating..

Bin the wrappers before you get home, and hide the receipt.

I'm the opposite. I eat when I'm happy and relaxed. My appetite goes when I'm tired and under pressure.

They were Krispy Kreme too, for some reason that makes it feel worse

Reset the day and start again tomorrow. I often fall off the wagon but tell myself it's about tomorrow and building better long term habits than letting one bad day/meal drag me down. Best of luck, it's a constant journey.
