More bad eating

I dont know whats wrong with me. I'm hungry all the time and am filling up on bad food. I'm so hungry and I dont know what to do. I go to the store and get treats. I went to the podiatrist and she said I can start walking bit by bit. I went on a walk but had to come home sooner since my foot started hurting.

Hope your foot can heal soon so you can get back to doing the walking you enjoy. I know my knee has been hurting and so im not walking as much ... walking usually is my stress reliever and now i cant just go out for a walk to get away.
Maybe for a treat try using things like fruit or veggies and blend them up in a smoothie.... not sure but those things always make me feel so full for long time.

I agree with g2g, walking for me is a great stress reliever and I hope your foot heals sonn, take short walks everyday if you can. do you have any idea why you are feeling so hungry? is it something emotional that you feel the need to fill with something and you turn to food? I have done that in the past for a very long time and now I use it for control but at times I want to eat and eat to make me feel comforted, I just don\'t allow myself. I know you like smoothies and protein shakes, maybe start them again, add extra fruit and maybe that will help curb the sweet need. hugs and love

being couped up can really stress me out. So I try to get out as much as I can, even if it is to the lobby of the building and talking a walk. Hugs.

I don\'t purge but I do binge. I\'ve been working on it for months and one thing that helps me is to plan my eating such that I don\'t get too hungry. If I start feeling hungry I panic and the eating gets mindless very quickly. Another thing that helps me is my mints. I found some that I really like and I buy them by the sleeve. I get 10 to 20 tins of them at a go and I keep them everywhere. I\'m like a mint junkie. LOL

Having the mints around gives me something to put in my mouth that won\'t add to my problems and that calms me down enough that I can stop and think about whether I\'m really hungry and should eat or if I\'m just stressed and need to step back and try to refocus.

i\'d stay away from your foot. give it a year to really mend. how about swimming? or even floating in a small pool. does your apartment have one?

My apartment has a pool, but half the time it\'s closed. There\'s another pool I can use, but it\'s a block away and it\'s full of stupid teenagers trying to kill themselves

Sounds like you need to call the podiatrist and tell her that it\'s really bothering during a walk. Maybe, you need to tell your GP about this. Or get a new podiatrist.
I wish I can help with the eating out. I\'ve done that a lot. Started to get back on track this weekend. I hope you can get a handle on it too. Maybe, get some protein bars or powder and have that when you are really hungry. I know that helps me sometimes.
