starting again, but with control

[titilayo_houseton]

sad to report, but I gained back 36 pounds. I have come to realize more and more about myself and why I have a weight problem. I have always been a binge and emotional eater. I overeat when I am tired, sad, happy, or bored. Atkins is really good for me to lose weight because I could eat as much as I wanted and still lose weight. BUt I have to deal with my eating disorder a new way. I am starting a new journal here with my low carb friends because I know that whatever WOE I choose I will have support. My goals are to become fit by eating healthy and daily physical activity. Right now my short term goal is to control my binge eating disorder. After every meal I am going to do an activity to keep me from eating more and more. For example, I am going to write in my journal or read other post. I may take a walk. Just something to keep me from eating. Once I begin to eat it seems like there is no stopping me, but that is only when I am at home. At work I can go all day without eating or overeating. I can eat a very small meal at a slow paste, but when I come home and eat I just begin to gobble everything down in sight. WHy? I have no idea just yet. That is another issue. How fast i eat. I eat a whole plate of food in like five minutes. I try to slow down, but when I think I am eating slower I still eat fast. But on my journey I will no longer tolerate this behavior. Weight loss is wonderful and I felt really good being in onderland. Once I reach it again there will be no turning back.
