[quote=Anonymous][quote=TheNewGirl]OP, I recommend therapy. I was overweight for most of my adult life- gained 30# as a college freshman and yo-yo'd until 3 years ago. In that time I've lost 50+ Lbs and transformed my body and my life. For me , it was about changing what I ate but even more so, reprogramming my internal messaging so that emotional eating is no longer a part of my life. As I have worked through many of my self esteem issues I no longer struggle with feeling like I "deserve" certain things , I need them or that it's so unfair. It has been hard but absolutely 100% worth all the effort and then some. I can just tell from the tenor of your posts, it's about so much more than food. Hugs. [/quote]

This may be true. I fought with my weight for years but had it under relative control until I got pregnant with #1. I gained 75lbs, partially due to eating and also due to swelling. I have been nursing or pregnant (with the exception of 2 years) for the past 7 years and although I have lost 60 lbs from the height of my last pregnancy, I have been stuck with 30 lbs to lose for the past few months with the scale not budging.

I dont emotionally eat when I am stressed or upset, just bc I want to and become consumed with my cravings. I do have the "its not fairs!!" though b I see so many of my friends eating that piece of cake or cookie and I think why shouldnt I be able to eat it too. I know very few people who eat a rigid diet and dont treat themselves, so I think I can do the same but it just doesnt work for me.. [/quote]
