I just canot get motovated. The Girl Scout cookies arrived. I just ate tortilla chips and guacamole for lunch. My divorce is almost final so I know this is stress eating and I haven't been sleeping well and eat more the next day after a bad sleep, I realize. My eaight has been steady- at least I am not gaining, but I cannot seem to make that commitment to no carbs right now!
Have you tried a more balanced diet? Reducing carbs, fat, and protein, but keeping them balanced at a lower calorie level? It's always hard to completely eliminate a specific kind of food.
Also, if you can get rid of the junk and stock up on healthy food, that helps eliminate temptation. Not always possible when you've got others living in the house, but you can still move more in this direction.
I can't tell you how many times I've started a new diet over the last two months, only to fail. Finally I'm on the right path! Don't beat yourself up too much. Emotional eating is hard to overcome. And the first few days are the toughest, so be gentle with yourself during this stressful time.
