    Since I somewhat commented about my emotional eating breakdown over the weekend (which started with one sugar filled pb&j and ended with me feeling like a fat food sl*t). How do we avoid emotional eating on P2? I would love to think that I am not a food addict or I don't have an eating disorder but I notice when I am grieving or an emotional mess I eat to fill the void. I don't want this to happen again so I have thrown out anything bad that I may cheat with. Yet, what are some tips you guys have for those that are doing this diet and wanting to turn to food while going through hard times? The first round of HCG I had ever done was during a semester in college so I was so stressed I never wanted to eat anyways. It just seems like this time is so much harder than the last. Any suggestions?

    I can't speak for everyone but what helps me when I'm stressed or emotional is to go for a walk with my iPod blasting praise music. I get my mind off what I can't have and what is wrong and focus on being grateful for what I have. I pray for others too and that helps to get my mind off myself. That's not always possible late at night though so when it hits then, I go to bed. LOL

    I drink. Get yet another glass of water and put acv in it. It pretty much kills my appetite.

    Oh I sometimes eat a dill pickle too. That can take away my desire for something sweet.

    For me, the key was not getting rid of the food (although that does help), or rather, I didn't find results when I focused on *not eating* emotionally. I had big improvements when I realized that everyone has emotional stresses, and everyone needs healthy, effective ways to deal with them. I found some strategies that appealed to me, and I practiced them when I wasn't stressed. Then I practiced them when I was just a teensy bit stressed. Over time, they became more familiar and comforting to me, and they did, in fact, soothe me when I was upset and would otherwise have headed for food. I never would have been able to start there, though.

    I also highly recommend Genene (sp?) Roth's books. A good one is When Food is Love.

    good luck!

    Those are good tips! Thanks you guys =] I really love this site it seems like there is such a large amount of dieters so willing to lend out tips, advice, and support. I think what is so hard for me is the amount of losses I have faced. I know food doesn't replace them but yet some of us still do it anyways. I think I just need to find a few more things to take up my time. I will check out that book though Janeen it sounds like good material. Again, thanks to all of you for your comments if anyone has more to share please do. =]

    I did not think we were aloud a dill pickle. I would have used that a few times when things were tough. I have had a rough summer full of unexpected company, camping with unexpected company joining us also, family reunions all of this had a tonne of stress and found me preparing foods for the company that I would love to indulge in, I made it through that but on the let down day I blew it eating bites of smokies, a graham cracker with nutella, a few chips and I gained 1.2 #s from it. I think it was just emotional eating as well but you sure do feel bad about it after words, I think if I knew I could have a dill pickle as a treat I may have avoided the totally bad day. Now tomorrow we are travelling 6 hours to visit my children that live in a different city. I plan on taking a lot of celery sticks, I love to snack while sitting in the car bored to death, so I am a little worried about it. I wish all the extra company would not have come during p2 of diet so that I did not have to entertain so much.

    I have 2 inj left and 5 VLCD's left, on my 26 days. I am picking up my 6 grandchildren tomorrow , and will have them thru Sunday . The children are constantly hungry/eating , and it won't be the food I can eat. I am already telling myself
    " I can do anything for 5 days" then "4 days" "3 days" etc I hope this works!

    and reading the forum always helps!!

    I eat homemade dilled asparagus (no sugars or fats and it is a protocol veggie) and I eat homemade pickles. For the car trip, do you crochet or something while you ride? I find that keeps the munchies at bay.
