Hi SB.
Are you sure you're not talking about me? I especially like the way you say:
"Some days these tendencies are hardly noticeable and on other days I can’t stop stuffing myself on everything in sight."
I'm the same way! It seems to sneak up on me. I can only have what I think of as safe foods in my kitchen, because if something with fat or some dense processed item is around, sooner or later, I will eat it to excess.
I too have found that allowing myself to do the volume eating once a day with something safe or low calorie, helps immensly to relieve the stress. I'm going through some dental challenges right now, so I have to use soft vegetables or soup.
I recently restarted with the McDougall plan and tonight I got into a bit of trouble. For the past few days I was happy with just one vegan muffin a day, but today I couldn't have just one.
I have decided to do MWL and was so glad to see your post!
Thanks so much for sharing.
from one with volume eater tendencies to another!
