My Emotional Overeating - Treatment By Prevention

(Sydney)

My story is neither inspiring not uplifting, although I hope it may help someone.

Over the years I have noticed that there is a certain pattern to my emotional overeating. I won't go into details. The thing is, that I've learned that I cannot trust myself with some foods, they are just not safe around me. And because it's only the certain foods that I overeat so, do you know what I do? I just don't buy them. If I do, it's only in small amounts, because I know that if I find them in the kitchen pantry when the mood strikes, I'll have them in one sitting. I call it a treatment by prevention. Works best for me.

If anyone has a better solution I would like to hear.
