Re: My First Day

I know how emotional stress can cause over eating. If it is likely to happen again, can you remove the cause, or at least the food temptation and replace the unhealthy food with healthy stuff? Perhaps not for the cause, because if there was an emotional incident in your home it suggests others are there. Here's a quote from Dr Fuhrman's "Eat to Live".
"My patient ... faced this dilemma. Her teenage son and daughter told her they were definitely not going to eat this way. Debra knew they could all afford to lose weight. There was so much junk food in the house that it was even tempting her. Yet Debra lost more than fifty pounds that first year. Luckily, she had a loving and supportive husband who tried his best to help any way he could. The first thing he did was buy an extra refrigerator that they kept in the garage. Debra and her husband had a family meeting to enforce the rule that any unhealthy food would be kept in one cupboard and in the refrigerator in the garage."
Although that is a healthy eating diet, it may apply to you if one or more family members have a taste for junk food. Other than that, seek support here. Good luck Tweet
