>>76164559I also stress eat but I've consistently been losing weight since late last year when I couldn't fit into one of my work shirts comfortably anymore. I've had success by stepping up my cooking game, being kind to myself, and generally just making better choices, but yeah, it's hard. Using spices helped a lot though, I don't eat bland chicken and rice or whatever, but I'll do up some chicken breast with tons of spices and sweet potatoes and stuff. Moreover, I find that beating myself up and refusing any/all sweets or "cheat" foods just makes me snap back and binge later on. I keep some cookies or little dark chocolates in the house so that when I get a craving, I can just grab one (1) and curb the craving rather than sit and think about how bad I want some cookies for a week then binge a whole package when my will breaks. These are my tips, although it's gonna be different for each of us based on our body hormones and the like so you do have to do what works for you. This has allowed me to enjoy pizza on the weekends, or occasionally have some wine, and generally not be miserable on a diet though, and it's working! Keep it up, Wispie!
