I can't stop comfort eating :(

[Movingforward123]

Before Christmas I was using Myfitnesspal and lost around 8lbs. During and after Xmas I have put on about 4lbs! U still need to loose a stone.

But I keep comfort eating, because I'm fed up, lonely or just cold and hating the weather! Any excuse!

Any tips to stop comfort eating?

I'm thinking just don't being the chocolate/flapjacks/cakes in the house.

If I need to comfort eat then do it actual food and see if I still want to conform eat. Im guessing it will be a lot less.

Any other ideas? I really want to loose a stone. Half a drone would give me a massive boost!

I feel your pain. I'm an expert on self sabotaging diets

I find distraction is the best way to go because I eat a lot when I am bored. Painting nails can keep hands from reaching for the biscuit tin or do you like crocheting, drawing, anything that keeps your hands occupied

Also like you said clear everything you can from the cupboards so that you can't easily just find stuff to eat. Or try munching carrot sticks instead.

I read your OP and now I am craving flapjacks
