trying to curb emotional eating

Posted by bookgurl99 on May 5, 2003, at 22:24:26

Hey y'all,
I'm working on losing weight, having gained about 20 pounds in the past year. (I am 5'5", 180 pounds!!!)
I'm finding that by following a diet that has healthy fats and low G.I. index foods, I've been able to kill physical cravings for junk food. BUT, even though I'm not hungry, I'm still eating certain junk foods -- sundaes, chocolates, etc. -- totally out of habit, or because a friend is eating it at the time.
Has anyone else done this? I can't figure out if I'm scared to really lose weight and change, or if I just want to -fit in- at the moment. What do you do to combat emotional eating? Any ideas?
