I need to stop eating!

[OhFucko]

I am a stone overweight and it is pure greed.

I eat when I’m bored.
I eat when I’m sad.
I eat alllll my feelings.
I eat as a leisure activity.
I think about food all the time.

I don’t want to be like this anymore but I don’t know what the answer is. I’m a stone overweight and gaining every week. None of my clothes fit and I feel disgusting. I’m also sweating every day because I am too self conscious to wear shorts and t shirts.

I have a history of not great eating and have always been size 6-8 by basically starving myself, but now I just can’t stop eating and it is REALLY getting me down.

I’m going to try and start again (again) tomorrow. I need to sort this out so I can move on with my life without thinking of food all the time.

No idea but solidarity.

I have the same list as you and also eat when stressed but even if the planets aligned and none of those reasons applied I'm always hungry, I've never felt full or satiated. Sick or bloated but never full.

I'm going to sound like a broken record but journal. Journal on paper, or digital, every time you have the urge to eat for the reasons you mentioned. It makes you pause, think about what you're doing, and not eat in a reactive manner. Then, reward yourself with your favourite calorie free drink and move on until the feeling comes up again or it's your actual eating time.

I’ve been overweight for much of my life but recently had a revelation and now I focus of what I’m eating rather than restricting so an abundance of fruit vegetables and protein and I’ve dropped 3kgs on this method. It’s slow but it’s consistent and sustainable

Oh and yes keep a log of what you are eating !!

Snap, I literally said all the same things yesterday. I don't know the answer

Do you exercise? Do you strength train to build muscle so that your body can handle more calories?

Im in the same boat as OP and I’ve been using MyFitnessPal for years to track various nutrients. Not had an issue losing weight before, etc.

Anyway, after seeing you post I’ve had a look and there’s a notes function on the app, so I think I’ll try that.
