Emotional Eating
I've been doing really well with the gym, have a personal trainer I see once or twice a week and for the most part my eating is awesome.
However, I am a terrible emotional eater. I know it. I can't STOP myself. If I had a bad day, all I want is a Snickers and I usually give in. I feel like some days going to the gym doesn't do anything because I over ate throughout the day.
Any advice?
Re: Emotional Eating
I don't know what kind of eater I am, but when I want something I cannot rest...however, since starting WWs, I'm trying to substitute healthier options. This tea is like liquid chocolate and quells my chocolate craving in a big big way.
Ugh i know the feeling! I've noticed that i'm a bored eater.... i'll eat if my hands/mind aren't busy doing something.
In the beginning here, Try eating a smaller portion of the treat, and then turning to some sort of fun activity to take your mind off your emotion. it could be as simple as coming home from a bad day and having a dance party in the kitchen while you cook dinner. or turning on your favorite comedy movie or tv show while you hop on a stationary bike or do something like yoga/stretches to calm yourself down. turn to activity as your stress-reliever instead of food. You might find that you soon rely on activity rather than food cravings-- which is great!
...also, ANY activity is better than no activity. even if you feel like the gym isn't doing anything -- it is! it's getting you out and moving. keep it up!

I'm the same way. When I get home from a long day, I like to eat. It sounds super hokie, but I find that if I take care of a To-Do list item around the house, it distracts me long enough to forget the craving.
So like, I'll come home, and instead of reaching for a beer and a sandwich, I'll go fix that cupboard in the bathroom. 5-10 minutes later, the house is improved, my wife is in a good mood because I took care of something, and my craving is gone.
