I've begun to write this post so many times but have always backed out.
Tonight tho I'm feeling hideous and think this needs doing.
I'm a 30 something woman with at least 6 Stones to lose.
I eat emotionally and without even really thinking. I try to explain to my husband that it's as though my brain is split in two and the two sides don't communicate. So I hate how overweight I am but can't stop eating chocolate bars etc. It's like my brain doesn't grasp that eaten all the rubbish is adding to my problem.
I took early retirement (due to ill health) from ft work a little while ago and am home alone all day which doesn't help. I have a neuro condition which really limits my ability to exercise.
Feeling really alone. Does anyone else feel like this or have any suggestions?
Apologies for the essay. I'd love to chat with people in a similar boat.
Thanks everyone for reading.

What are you emotional about? What emotions are you feeling?

I feel boredom and loneliness and eat. That I feel disgusted and annoyed with myself. Viscious circle
