I have identified the issue, the main sticking point that keeps me at this plateau and what kept me overweight my entire life. Emotional eating. Eating when I'm bored, eating when I'm lonely, eating when I'm sad. To be honest, I've always known it, called it binge eating, which I guess it is. It really hit me when I was out at work this time around. I am friends with everyone there, and I work a hard, physical job 12 hours a day. I eat fruit in the morning, a small sandwich for lunch and a small dinner, and I am never hungry, I literally force myself to eat at scheduled breaks so I can have more energy to do my job. I lose weight, always, and I gain muscle and lose inches while I'm there. The difference? I'm busy, I'm laughing, and people are entertaining me on a constant basis, and that's enough!
Then I come home. Day one, I told myself I hadn't eaten anything exciting and deserved something, so I got a big footlong sub from Subway. It was too salty and I felt sick. Day Two, 9pm, I told myself I really hadn't had takeout for awhile and ordered a lot of pizza/pasta to gorge on. I was just bored and lonely, really. Day Three, I decided to eat healthy and spent money on good groceries and ate enough for the day, and then 9:30 rolled around, I was bored and went and got a bag of chips and dip, and ate it. Not to mention that my goal of getting to the gym everyday (when I literally have all day to do so) keeps getting pushed back due to really stupid excuses I keep telling myself: I'm pretty tired, it's snowing out, the transit ticket costs money which I'm trying to save (funny how that excuse doesn't apply to junk food and takeout huh?)...
So I know the problem and it's all completely stupid but why haven't I stopped it yet? I think I need to try something, some ritual that will stop me from eating emotionally, whether that be just some kind of meditation when I feel 'hungry', or something like that. Is anyone here an emotional eater? How do you stop yourself when you are triggered? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Due to the nature of my job, I can't really commit to any sort of long term therapy for this.. In fact I'm really only in town about a week out of every two months. I hope I can conquer this as it's my only hurdle left. Basically this time out, I'm trying to minimize the damage I can do to myself so the next time i'm at work, I'm not just losing the same 10 pounds again, but actually getting somewhere new.
