If I'm stressed out or in a bad mood, I will eat or go shopping to relax or calm down. It makes me feel better in the moment but right after I get depressed because it feels like a vicious cycle I can't stop. I'm considered obese and need to lose 50 lbs so really can't afford to gain anymore, plus I'm paranoid about my health and being around for my daughter.
As for money, I'm extremely low income and any fried to spend so much money! I feel like **** when I do because I know at the end if the moth I'm gonna be regretting it when I have to borrow money from my dad to pay rent.
Does anyone hae any tips to cope with the urges to eat or spend money? The urges to eat are te worst, all I think about is good and I get angry at myself and agitated because I can't concentrate on anything else until I give in.
