Is there an Emotional Eating tribe? - Page 5

RM, I didn't realize you had insulin resistance. You don't have the build I think of when I hear insulin resistance.

I know once I decide I want something there is no eating around it. I can try waiting but usually I still want whatever it was. The only wait that has helped is just going to bed at night; by morning the craving might be gone. Maybe waiting in the short-term helps with portion control for me?

2 weeks ago I was pretty upset and now? I am, pretty happy. Divorce is hard, but it's been a long time coming and we're both great people -- just aren't suited. In fact, in all of our talking, I seemed to have lost a lot of my emotional appetite and lost 10 pounds in about 13 days just from dropping sodas and eating less. I am starting to think as an individual again and starting to be okay with my views on my place in the world. But then the hunger hit when I knew it was time to discuss this with my mother. SO much of my emotional baggage surrounds her and it's not like she is mommy dearest or anything. I just told her yesterday and I am waiting for the fall-out.. in all of this, gaining 2 pounds back and being constantly hungry for the past few days.

I've realized that I don't even love sweets, so why eat them? I have been trying to remind myself of that before eating them and stop myself. I'm putting my thoughts into "what really sounds good, what will fill me up without making me stuffed or guilty" .

That's me too, though I do love sweets
