[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 135259, member: 3388"] ML, I think Marg and Nomad have given you some good advice. in my humble opinion, I think you should see your doctor to have blood drawn, as Marg suggested, to make sure you're physically healthy - no thyroid problem, etc... And, as Nomad suggested, get rid of the "junk" food that is just too tempting. I honestly don't believe in "willpower." I think that walking is a great idea! Just make sure that you leave enough time to eat lunch too. Don't skip meals. If you do, you can mess up your metabolism even more and make it much, much harder to lose weight. As you know, I'm also an emotional eater. I've found that by taking more "me" time, and making my needs just as important as those of my difficult children, I'm beginning to feel more emotionally "fit." I'm beginning to find that I don't have as much of an urge to eat emotionally. I understand what you mean when you say that you're not happy with some aspects of your life but you're not ready to change them. I'm also not happy with parts of my life that I really have little or no control over at the moment. However, even though there are parts of my life I'm not ready to change and other parts that I cannot change, just taking time for myself, and making my needs as important as everyone else's needs, has given me a much more positive outlook on life. For me, this is enough to break my emotional eating cycle for now. However, I know that this is a problem that I'll probably always have to be aware of. I think I'll always be one step away from being an emotional eater. I hope this makes sense! Once you begin walking, I think you'll begin to feel better. Once you begin to feel better physically, I think other changes to your lifestyle will be a bit easier to accomplish. YOU CAN DO THIS!!! I know it is really, really hard at first, but leading a healthier lifestyle gets easier as more time goes by. I'm glad you're here!!! :you_go_girl: WFEN [/QUOTE]
