Healthy Weight Loss

Mopsie · 09-15-2017, 03:26 PM

I struggle with food addiction. I go to a 12-step program and have a sponsor but have not had sustained abstinence for a while now. For me that means bouts of binge eating which makes losing weight difficult. I have lost 30 lbs total since January but it's been a slow process.

Right now I'm working on using coping skills instead of running to food when I'm stressed. My eating plan is based on counting calories and staying away from food triggers.

For exercise I'm walking 3 or 4 days a week in my neighborhood. There are a lot of other folks out walking so it feels safe.

This is a great thread. Thanks for sharing everyone.
