Lost it!

[Noahsmum]

So having been through a really stressful time, I seem to have been eating my own body weight in rubbish! I've just been feeling very hollow and filling this space with binge eating, it's disgusting! I did make a half hearted attempt at making home made salads but I was constantly starving, so kind of feeling a bit lost at the moment.

I know that feeling (I'm sure we all do). This spring I came back from a long trip and absolutely stuffed myself for about 10 weeks, gained a pound a week and no way could I stop. Then I seemed to settle down and get back on track, I think because my life felt more settled. Try not to be hard on yourself and deal with the head things and maybe try some meditation or mindfulness, or something for you. When you are ready, you'll get back onto healthy eating and you'll wonder how come it took so long! It's a bit like giving up smoking, you have to be ready and not giving yourself a hard time over it when you are already stressed. Good luck! Maybe the sunshine will help.
