I am also an emotional eater. I have been probably since I got married way back in 1966. My weight goes up and down. A few years ago I lost 70 pounds. I looked so great and got so many compliments. Since then I have gained back at least half of that weight. I guess I should be glad I did not gain it all back. Maybe we can all help each other and be each others support. I live alone now and the worse time is at night when I am bored and no one is around to talk too. It drives me crazy. I look in the mirror and go yuck. I am not that heavy but its heavy to me and where I have gained a lot is my arms.....I probably could fly if there was a good wind.....LOL
I know exactly how you feel. Ar one time I used to go to Overeaters anonymous which uses the 12 step program from AA. They simply substitute food for the word alcohol. Its a national program and you can find meetings online. That might help you. I did like it and they have good literature plus everyone is in the same boat and they charge no fees!
As they say in AA and overeaters...one day at a time........maybe we can start a group here unless there already is one......you really need someone to talk to daily!!
Hugs;
p.s. I am in Fairfax Virginia so we share the same state!!
