Hi Domino,

Please, don’t feel you are bothering anyone with your problem. If something upsets someone, then it is important. Regardless of the nature or ‘gravity’ of the problem, so please don’t feel bad etc.

Also, thank you for explaining about the dieting, I wasn’t sure. I think you have identified the issue in that the comfort eating seems to occur out of boredom, or being alone… It is good to be conscious of this, as this will help to ‘take action’ so to speak. If you can find distraction (I know, sometimes it’s easier said than done), that would help (any hobbies you could take up? or volunteering? or simply going out etc…). Also, do try to snack on healthy substitutes instead (carrots, apples etc.)

I know it is not easy to just stop eating, and I am sorry that you do not seem to have support from hubby / your best friend. But the good thing is that you are *already* taking steps towards this – being conscious of the issue, you have joined WW & are going to the meetings. Do try the journal and the snack issue… Good luck in all this and keep up the motivation!
