I decided to have a break from recording all the food I eat. I become obsessed by being too low or too high on calories, so I will just stop it.I am not overweight anymore, my BMI is in a normal range.
When I am too obsessed by control I am more affected by emotional eating episodes, cause I give too much importance to food. I will take care not to fill up my fridge with junk food and will look at portions.
Trying to control what I eat is not the solution to stop emotional eating. The solution is actually learning to deal with my emotions. That's not easy at all, I know, but that's the real issue; food is just something I use as a comfort from bad emotions.
And I don't want to pretend anymore everything is fine, even if sometimes I have no idea how to not being affected by strong emotions.
Writing about my emotions sounds like the first step. I cannot deal with emotions, but at least I can give them a name, read about them again, understand them.
I am confident there must be a way :)
