When I started my weight loss in January I stopped doing this. I was a stress eater as well. I've noticed this past few weeks I've started doing this again. I'm not sure what's going on. I don't have any advice on how to stop it but I do want to say that you shouldn't beat yourself up over doing it because that makes it worse. At least it does for me. If I think about when I ate something I shouldn't, I do it even more because I'm upset with myself. Find other ways to relieve your stress. I think something I might start doing is if I want to eat something I'm not supposed to I have to do a certain amount of exercises for like pushups or jumping jacks or something. I can't eat it until I do my exercises first.
