I should start by saying I have a history of eating disorders. I am now at my heaviest and while I don't want to get back to the lowest weights, I certainly wouldn't mind being a bit lighter and healthier.
My problem is, is that I can't seem to stop using chocolate as a way of managing all of my moods, especially when I am alone.
If I'm working an early shift, I'll come home before my DH and DS, and while making the tea, I can easily get through a couple of chocolate bars. When I'm working the late shift alone, I'll probably nip down to the cafe and get some cake as a treat. It is constant. I eat chocolate when I'm overwhelmed, uncertain, upset and tired. Even the smallest every day stresses will have me mindlessly reaching for treats. I try to keep busy but no matter how busy I am, I will always find a moment to grab some chocolate. Usually in fact I want it all the more when I'm busy to keep motivated!
Any ideas? I really don't want to be like this anymore.
