I am a 61 year old mom of a grown boy and have struggled with my weight all my life. I am a secret eater, sneaking food when no one is looking, and can put away an amazing amount of food that way. I realize that it is emotional eating, since I am rarely hungry when I overeat. I had success in the past with Weight Watchers, but I always gain the weight back, and I am so unhappy with myself and am embarrassed sometimes when I’m around other people who take care of themselves. I am hoping to make better choices and get back to more controlled eating. I work from home and am alone a lot, which gives me way too much opportunity to make bad choices and to stuff myself, especially at night when my negative thoughts overwhelm me. I could really use the support of any FS members who have experienced similar issues.
