Don't give up. I love sweets also. Have been on so many diets over
my life I can't count. Gaining and losing weight. It is very hard. It's good you are exercising. Try to find something to do to distract yourself from food when you are bored or depressed. Listen to your favorite music. Color in an adult coloring book. Take a 5 or 10 minute walk outside. Etc.

Hi- I also love sweets. I gained so much weight after I gave birth, my jeans could not fit on me so I always wear leggings. I decided to slowly lessen my food intake. I drank plenty of water and exercise. I sometimes walk in the park and enjoy nature. To distract me from eating, I do scrapbooking and sometimes organize kitchen cabinets. I still eat sweets but with moderation.

When you are bored and down, think of things that you will enjoy to distract you from eating. If you love nature, try to walk outdoors even for a few minutes. It’s good that you exercise, keep doing it. My son is also trying to lose weight and he plays piano and drums to distract him from eating.

Thank you for sharing. I hope things will work out fine for you. Feel free to post anytime, we are here for each other. God bless.

Ugh, nothing worse than gaining weight and not being able to wear your clothes. I just recently went Keto and I’ve seen some great results (got rid of sugar and carbs). I also brush my teeth if I’m having a big crave for something or I’ll eat a bunch of veggies. Are you on meds that cause weight gain? Sometimes, it’s hard to control the cravings because of your medication! Hang in there and take one day at a time and keep exercising - Emma

I know. I get disgusted too. I even went to a couple of Overeaters Anonymous meetings, but I felt it really wasn't for me. The people in the group had numerous other addictions, that was too much for me to be around.
I eat mostly b/c I'm so bored. You probably do too. Sounds like you might be alone alot, with your crummy husband running around. So eating eases the pain, makes you comfortable.
At least you are exercising---I'm like you, I'm better at exercising than I am at eating. I feel your pain....write whenever you want.

same, fine otherwise, but always look preggo, lol. I live in sweats though, since I'm home most of the time and hardly see anyone. like maria, I think it's bc of lonely or stress.

Just out of curiosity, are you taking any meds for depression? One of the unfortunate side effects of some these psychotropic drugs is putting on weight.

I like sweets too including candy along with pizza and fast food. For me when I put on weight it seriously effects my appearance, my face tends to get very bloated.

To help with my hunger cravings I drink those slim-fast shakes, the low carb version. It seems to help.

If you are feeling overweight. Work out. Health doesnt come through living how we want to, but through hard training, dedication and personal sacrifices. Although you do not have to eat healthy everyday, its important. Go to the gym and decide to do a lot of cardio, the less calories you eat and the more you work out the better you will look and the more great you will feel. Good luck.

To look good you have to feel good. To feel good you have to think of yourself as looking good.
