Are you an emotional eater

I am!... an emotional eater that is. As I mentioned before on my blog, I've been getting monthly meltdowns. I've tracked them every month and have come to the conclusion that it has to do with the "women" thing ahah! I get angry, frustrated, emotional, extreme sleepiness all these to the highest peek all in a couple hours then the next day I'm drained tired moopy hating the world, it's true...Then it's gone, all better like nothing happened. WEIRD! Husband is getting scared away! I also find that when i eat more it makes me feel better, more things with more sugar more sale all the bad stuff. Such a horrible habit to have! Have any of my lady followers felt this before? It's only started happening for the last 4 months and pretty much at the same day every month. Trying not to make this post with TMI. ahahah! So I'll stop at that.

On to more happier news. My friend over at http://www.believinginserendipity.com/has both her nephews home. They had a rough start coming into this world but they fought their hardest and they are both home with their mommy and daddy finally! Praying so much for them! Go check out the pics of them, they are so cute!

  1. Hey! Yeah, I am an emotional eater too, but it has to do with stress. I gained about 40 pounds last year due to stress from work (freaking students!) and I made myself happy by eating everything I could get my hands on. I am seriously regretting the weight gain now, and have realized it's not worth it. It's so easy to put the weight on, but FOREVER to take it off! P.S. how are those Easytones working out for you?

  2. I so am an emotional eater. I eat when I'm stressed, overwhelmed, bored, even happy or "good" emotions. That's been a really hard habit to break, and one that's still in the works. I have heard too that the more sugar you eat, the more sugar you want. I lost 50lbs about 5 years ago, and wasn't eating a lot of sugar. It was a lot easier to stay away from it, b/c I wasn't eating it!

  3. I think this is a pretty normal thing among us girls. My motto is...indulge a little now, and work it out in the gym later. It's always worked for me :)

  5. I hate to say it because I think it's so sexist but if my husband responded to one of my very moody moods with,"Is it your time?" The answer would be yes. I get soooooooooo sensitive the week before and then the week of I'm in pain. So I basically have two weeks of the month that are problem free. Poor John. Maybe there's some meds I can be on or something.
