Emotional Eaters.....How are you coping?

[ElyQuint 446]

This is going to sound crazy but I have found a new tool for anxiety and impulse control. I feel silly saying it but I sculpt tiny lil bugs out of oven bake clay. Totally distracts me and gives me that instant gratification. Pick up some crayons, mad- libs, a jigsaw puzzle, paint, play dress up, paint your face, ect. Anything silly and playful that provides instant gratification and has nothing to with toxic, grown-up ideas about life & responsibility!

I thought I was the only one with this issue. I was sleeved in February 2014, have moved to a new area where I do not know anyone. It has been a difficult adjustment, and all I want to do is eat. I just started walking several times a week, I am hoping that helps.......
