Why can't I stop eating?

[Anonymous]

The past few weeks I've been feeling so down, and so fat... I keep eating and I feel like I gained so much weight and I am insecure about even going to the gym because I feel so fat. I used to work out regularly and feel so good but then Christmas came and ever since I have been in this lull... I go to the gym still but I always feel bad even after a work out. Now its so cold out that I can't go to the gym as often even and its just guh...

The more you workout and change your better, the better you'll feel. I know what you mean because I've been in this same situation a few times. Its a mix of depression and your weight gain doesn't help at all. You need to push yourself out of bed, no matter how hard that may be and get to the gym. Once you get back into your routine and eat healthy you'll feel better I can guarantee it. I felt this way a few months ago. Even after I went to the gym I felt disgusted but if I sat at home instead of going then I knew I would just gain more weight and it would never end. You need to take control of your life and get yourself back into your routine. Tomorrow is a new day. Plus running/exercising is a good way to relieve stress.

im an emotional eater myself, the biggest part is realsing why you are eating.. are you hunger or just eating for eating, that way you can choose when to eat. ANd not over eat

I am hungry! I usually eat when I am bored, I am aware of that, but usually I can keep to myself and do things to keep busy but lately I don't feel like doing anything and I get hungry anyway :(

ugh that happens to me sometimes. well if it is affecting how you look, try to replace what you are eating with healthier yet yummy choices. Or in my case, I loaded up on water. ANd well going to the gym helps you stop eating to.

yeah, join the club :) forgive yourself for not being where you want to be, and just get back into it. It's only a matter of time. you got there before, you can do it again

Find satisfying low cal foods - Miso soup (I have this squeeze bottle miso mix concentrate that rocks) Fantastic tasting.

Munch on Greek Yogurt - fat free.

And, you can still workout at home. Get some exercise bands and look on the Bodylastics channel on YouTube for some great workouts.

You might be compensating, with food , for something you feel you miss.
