Hey there. I am totally with you in this case! I'm a BIG emotional eater in most cases. Big procrastinator with exercise and eating healthy ALL the time.

Before I start with my story, I want to thank the other people that commented and for the links, I'll be sure to check them out.

I'm not a big girl, but I tend to snack all the time. Like you said, when someone has stressed you out, it's usually something crunchy that I go for. This last 2 years have been a roller coaster ride for me. Before 2 years ago I was fit as a fiddle. Hardly ate bad things and spent ALOT of time at the gym or walking the neighbourhood. This was in AUstralia, and now I live in Canada. So sometimes I think the switch to a different environment and not having my family around has helped me start with emotional eating.

If I'm really really stressed, I refuse to eat because I'm not hungry and think I will just throw it up. But after the time of being really stressed, I totally gorge! On EVERYTHING!! It's really ridiculous.

I know I need help, but the last thing I want to do is see a psychiatrist... so I'm really trying to devote my life back into the gym again. The first few days of getting back on track seem to be the worst because I don't have the energy from eating all the crap that I have. I always think 'tomorrow, i will start being better tomorrow' but then I wake up late and it all goes down shit creek!

I hope you have overcome your bad eating habbits as I wish to overcome mine. Maybe a trip home will do me some good :)
