The Emotional Eater

So we all cope with our emotions differently. I tend to be an emotional eater, meaning when I'm sad, mad, stressed, or happy I tend to always look for food for comfort. However, when I'm just fine and at home, I get bored and again it's the food that interests me. 

I guess it wouldn't be that bad if I was making healthy choices  while using portion control, but no. I am definitely a bread and cheese lover. I'm the one that justifies pizza as healthy because it has all the food groups in one meal. That was actually my motto for a long time, you can ask my mother, pizza has always been my favorite and when people would ask me why, I would reply with my motto. I need a new favorite food and a new motto. I want to challenge myself to find a new healthy choice and a motto to why it is now my favorite. It may take some time but I will find one. 

I want to try and write my emotions instead of eating them. When I said I would write about what is weighing in on my mind, that meant everything on my mind that is hindering my weight loss will go into this blog. Yes, I am being vulnerable by putting it all out there. I feel as though the mental part of weight loss is just as essential to see results. I have never cared to address this in previous attempts to loose weight so I am hoping this will indeed help.

If any of you have any different ideas on how to cope with emotional eating please share. Not everyone can relieve emotions through writing. Also, I want to hear your feedback on my idea.  Until tomorrow ladies and gentleman!
