I weigh a shocking 20 stone, the heaviest I’ve ever been and I know it’s killing me. I’m so out of breath all the time, generally feel so ill, feet are agony walking on them and it’s soul destroying. My problem is comfort eating once my three disabled DCs are all in bed and continuing to comfort eat throughout the night when one of them wakes me. I have good intentions, may last a morning and then it all falls apart. One of my DCs is autistic and won’t leave my side which makes it so hard to focus on anything for me. I hope that doesn’t sound selfish!! But my weight is now becoming a huge (no pun intended) problem and I find I’m out of breath even just moving small distances. We’re due to go on a special family holiday in 13 weeks and I’m panicking about fitting in plane seat, wearing a swimsuit, having stamina just walking around and I’m so upset as this was meant to be a special holiday for us all. But instead, it’s the elephant in the room for me and just another pressure now on top of caring for my 3 DCs, family bereavements and just me feel8ng so massive and unwell and breathless and so unmotivated all of the time. What can I do? 😭☹️😭☹️

Read the beck diet solution. It's a cbt approach that teaches you how to cope with stress without comfort eating. I'm working on it now!

Sorry, posted too soon. Her main point is that you are in control though yoi feel you're not, restriction and habit (every night after bedtime, like me) play a huge role in what got you hear so you've to kick those. She emphasises it doesnt help stress, tiredness etc and you'll feel those with or without the binges but obviously, ending the binges will greatly help your life.. she says not to fight urges but to be aware of them as a radio in the background, overtime the habit will decrease as you ignore the urge. I don't have a weight problem as such but have a huge comfort earing problem and it's help in definitely. I wouldn't be able to eat e.g. 1/2 biscuits, prefer earing alone etc. When you see the amount of food she ate I makes you think, if she can change, more or less over night, so can you. Good luck one day at a time.
