Yay, have fun with Tyler!! In answer to your question, I don’t do too much emotional eating, but I will do the mindless eating thing sometimes. I try not to keep “snacky” foods in the house, actually I never usually have anything like crackers or such (although I’ve been craving some crackers lately!) in my cupboards. But just like you said, don’t stress about it too much. My eating will go in waves of eating really clean, and indulging a bit. I think it pretty much evens out in the end.

Chewy Spree’s remind me of my freshman year in HS – I would often have those as lunch desserts

Don’t worry too much about the dessert eating! Everyone does it from time to time. The issue is when it continues in a cycle, like you said, so I think you’ll be alright! Have fun reuniting with Tyler!

A good walk or baking project takes away the boredom for me.
Have fun with Tyler!

I am so excited Tyler is coming! You are going to have so much fun showing him all of the places you’ve discovered!

Sometimes, when I catch myself being “snacky” I am able to stop and ask myself “What do I really need?” I am stressed? Am I bored? It’s really hard for me to stop, once I get started though. Sometimes I am able to keep trigger foods in the house, and sometimes I am not. It’s so up and down for me! I thought the book Life is Hard, Food is Easy (http://www.amazon.com/Life-Hard-Food-Easy-Emotional/dp/0895261456) was really good at helping me understand my cravings. Good luck!
