Sounds like emotional eating especially if your eating based off your emotions and your not hungry. Try myfitnesspal. com to start tracking your food and maybe incorporate some light walking. You didn't put the weight on in a day so you can't expect to lose it that fast. Slow and steady weight loss is best for long term success. Have you seen a nutritionist? Do you know someone who could be your accountability partner? It's nice to have someone to keep you motivated and on track at least until you can do it by yourself. I track my calories everyday using the myfitnesspal app and I measure and weigh myself once a week.

You already know the answer, don't eat as much. For gods sake, have some self control, it's not that hard.

[Asker]

it is not about control i can't it is like an addiction

Well then it is about self control. If a smoker wants to stop smoking, he/she must resist the urge to smoke. If you want to eat less you must resist the urge to eat.

well guess what i did go to a doctor today and they said it is something related to emotional eating and not self control... i see where your coming from though because i thought i had a self control issue too thanks a lot anyway

Perhaps this is a question better suited for somebody with a medical degree. Ask your doctor

[Asker]

guess so thanks

[WhateversCheapest]

Yep. Can't listen to BS people spew on the internet

First stop being an emotion eater. Determine why you eat when you feel these emotions or bored. Brainstorm the choices you can take and stick with it.

Control yourself, woman! Or eat all you want, have diabetes and deal with your future problems related to your future disease.
