I'm definitely an emotional eater, when I'm stressed, depressed, or even happy (calls for a celebration). Today was the first day of my new life! I'm not perfect in my start as I am trying to figure out what works for me and what is healthy an what is not. Also, I am extremely out of shape so starting to exercise is going to be hard, but I'm looking forward to introducing exercise into my life and making it a permanent aspect of my new and improve life!! I have done fad diets and pills and blah blah blah, this time is going to be different! I'm not going to go on a crazy diet; I am going to teach myself the proper ways to eat and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Anyone have any tips or feedback, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm a newcomer so any advice would be nice! Thanks!

Emotion has always been one of my triggers. I used to say that you could always tell how my life was going by my size. After two years of taking the reigns on my weight, I still find that I have to work to control my emotions and to be honest, someday's it will get the best of me. But my advice is when you feel stressed try to do something first. I usually will jump on the exercise bike and see if I can work off a little stress first. But you can go for a walk, find something to fill the hole food usually does. I will drink something (water or tea) and try to trick my stomach :) Good luck to you in your endeavors. Take everyday one day at a time! You CAN do this!
