Why I Eat
I have begun to exercise faithfully. About 5 years ago, I lost a bunch of weight but since then I have slowly gained it all back. I get disgusted with myself because of my lack of will power. I have been researching a site, www.ShrinkYourself.com, that deals with emotional eating which is what I believe I have. It’s emotions, not lack of willpower, that make diets fail. I can pass up a cookie if I am busy with something I enjoy. It is when I am stressed out while working in our store or when I have a headache that I turn to food.
Shrink Yourself is offering a free interactive session and fully personalized emotional eating profile that I am going to use to find out how to get this weight thing under control. I have to do something to achieve long-term weight loss and live a healthier life.

I was watching tv one night – eating, watching a program on over eating. It clicked in my head. I eat when my emotions are a certain way – my gran loved me – and she always showed that with feeding me sweet stuff – go figure.
I am always finding myself offering food as a comfort to anyone hurting. It is a vicious cycle.
