You know you have the power to change this. I know eating something sweet can provide a rather immediate calming effect when you're feeling frustrated and stressed but ask yourself - is this a good solution? Is that good for my mind and body? Is there an alternative? After eating the sweets, you know it doesn't provide any nutrition to your body, and the frustration will return shortly. So, what's the point of having the sweets? Why not do something concrete to reduce the stress (e.g. decrease the density of your schedule, avoid talking to annoying people)?

Me too, Blueberries has a point without being judgemental. I think I too will give this a try. Hey I am going to try that is all I can commit to today. Thanks Ree

I have seen supplement Liptin Control on-line. I have red that leptin hormone is respomcible for hunger all the time. I am very happy in my life but I eat a lot too. One of the reason is andida infection and you can check for that too. Another reason Leptin from too much toxins. We must detoxify our body and mind.

I feel regular scheduled meal plans are key, with someone to keep you accountable.

Only you can look deep down into your heart and find what you need to do or change in your life to withstand those sweets. Yes, sure we can all give you advice but ultimately you have to do it yourself. I'm sorry if that sounds hard but it is hard and no-one but us knows how hard it is. But in doing so you find strengths you never knew you had. Take care honeybun.

I totally understand. It was like hearing myself talk! Totally feel you. I try to focus on finding another activity that gives me that feeling. For me, that is running or working out. I struggle with running because of my weight, but I know that it makes all of the stress melt away so I force myself to do it!

i know exactly how you feel. i go through this everyday. i am severely overweight also and i feel your pain. food is the only thing in my life that makes me so happy, yet so sad. i have tried it all from dieting to exercise but it is so hard. i too know all the co morbidities that come along with excessive eating and being overweight, but its just so hard to stop eating the way i do. i feel like im outta control. i know what i should do, but its just so hard to do it.

Thank you you guys. Sometimes you gotta hear the tough truth. Its true that strength has to come from within me I just pray I can find it. Food is so good at melting the pain away.

Do you have anyone to talk to about this? I know this won't solve all problems, but being able to discuss with someone who can them offer solutions or work with you is really helpful. Good luck.

Have you ever considered OA?? It has saved my life! or.org is the website. Let me know if you have questions or thoughts. I used to be almost 400lb and now am about 140.
