Hi all,
So with lots of useful tips and encouragement from the lovely people here on this forum, I started my low carb, healthy eating journey a couple of weeks ago. I was doing well - in just a couple weeks I have lost around 3kg and already felt so much better - until last night. I was having a horribly stressful day, after what had been a very stressful week. I was upset and had an argument with my partner which was just the final straw. That evening I caved and ordered pizza. And had ice cream.
I feel absolutely awful and like I have let myself down. I know setbacks will happen and that I’m only human and will slip up. But I wanted to know if there are others on here who have been used to “treating” themselves with junk food when they feel stressed. How do you manage to not eat emotionally? I make poor eating decisions when I’m stressed but it’s so hard sometimes not to just give in. And I really want to minimise this happening again or il never reach my goals! Any tips?
