I need to lose weight but I am an emotional eater

[myownenemy]

I gained a hundred pounds in 2000, when i was pregnant with my son. I weighed 101 when i met my husband. I never was over 125. So I found out I was pregnant with my daughter when my son was 11 months old. Two days later I found out I had a hernia. After I had my baby girl, i had the hernia removed and went on a diet. La weight loss. I lost 50 pounds and felt great. However, the stress of dieting overcame me and I didnt finish the plan. A few months later i tried again and failed. i then tried a different program and failed that too. So for the last 2 years i Have been stuck in the 150"s and not happy with my body. I have been going to the gym for a year and a half and noticed some changes in my body, but am still a size 12. I know what i need to eat and how much water I should drink. I can do that, but at night I eat sweets and fats because they make me feel good. Dieting makes me feel bitchy all day long. I need some suggestions please?

hey
sounds like yu need to stop dieting and start living meaning that if we believe that we cannot have something then we want it more. it is okay to have sweets and fats but in moderation and after workouts.

what makes you feel better the food or the idea of being healthy. it is about adopting a healthy lifestyle not about yoyo dieting. it is possible that your body is different after your kids and might not get back your pre kids weight and find ways to be okay with you right now.
