My boyfriend has gone away for 2wks for work. He only left on sunday but i havent stopped eating! Even when im so full i still go stand in front of the cupboard and look for something to eat. I hate not being with him and i hate that i turn to food for comfort

I have a few questions for you. Are you bored with him gone? What kind of social life do you have outside of your relationship with him? If you are not keeping yourself busy (spending time with friends and family, working, hobbies, etc.) then it is easy to sit around and eat to comfort yourself.

How active are you? Do you exercise? Sometimes exercise will decrease hunger and when you do want to eat it will be when you are actually hungry and your body actually needs food.

Those are just a few things to think about. You need to stay busy. Also, I find that drinking a glass of water when I start to feel hungry, but know that I shouldn't eat, helps me to stay out of the fridge. Good luck.

I dont like leaving the house much when i have my son with me. May sound mean but hes the worst kid to keep under control when you take him somewhere and i get stressed out way to easily so i wont be going anywhere much! Barely exercise i lack the motivation.. Most of the time when im hungry ill drink coffee but if i drink too much it makes me pee alot lol.

My kids can be same the way too. My 5 year old has ADHD. But you really should get out of the house. I do the same thing with eating wheni'm bored i start craving seets or salty foods.
But take your son to aplayground or just for a walk. That's what i did this weekend and last night when i was so stressed out i couldn't stop yelling at him. We just went for a walk so mommy didn't snap. Then they had a bath and went to bed!!!
