I think I'm a stress eater

I don’t know if it’s the addictive sugar in all food

Of if it’s that I’ve been reaching for the food when I’m stressed…

Maybe a bit of both. Glad I have a physical job… but with the cut in the winter hours… and despite the swimming…

I feel like I’m gaining weight anyway.

Stress makes me gag and choke.
it can shut me down.
there are all these tempting treats around being the holidays and stuff.
I think I’m a holiday eater.

I’m a stress eater too. I substituted sugar with those energy bars without sugar. I eat them when I’m stressed. They’re made of fruit and seeds, the ones I buy.

Stress eater here to.

AP induced eater. They mess with metabolism and blood sugar making me feel like I’m starving.

Man i’ve had several double dinners and the like in the last week… I took zyprexa for three days and it nearly destroyed all self control I had built up over the last year.

I’ve kind of pulled out of it already though.

Man the human mind… At least these days… Just wants and wants and wants. I quit drinking coffee

Try not to worry too much about eating. Just don’t eat boxes of cookies and junk all the time.

Your active so enjoy your meals :blush:

Im a stress eater too. But not so much as before. Stress and fear are the worst

I tend to eat practically binge eat when I have been expending more energy than consuming. Like last night, I ate a bunch of snack foods after dinner because I ran and did a strength training routine back to back yesterday.

I tend to look at why I am eating a salami like its a hot dog and find good valid reasons like “I ran 3.5 miles and then did 100 dips and 100 push ups and had low calorie meals today”.

I find when I get stressed… I seem to be subconsciously eating anything near me… that is edible…

It’s not healthy… but for some reason… it’s just been happening a lot.

i always have things around me that i can eat or i am always going to places that have food or is near food, food is everywhere, its no wonder everybody feels happy when we eat, we are like conditioned to eat, food is literally shoved down our throats, i mean what do they expect?

The older you get, the easier it is to gain weight.And the older you get, the harder it gets to lose weight. I’ve heard that it is very common for the average male to gain an average of 2.2 lbs every three or four years after they reach thirty. My figures may not be exact, but it’s something close to that. You may not have to worry about that for a few years though.
