Hello all, newbie on this forum.
Here's my life story (lol)
I am a mom of 3, 2 my own and the other is my boyfriend's son. Mine are 7 and 9, his is 11. We work together, my day is typically sitting at a desk or driving to get parts. I go to the gym & lift heavy about 6x/week & aim for 30 mins cardio directly after the workout. Some days there is simply no time for cardio or I am far past exhausted. I work 1 muscle group/day, but do 2 leg/glute days a week (aiming to build a big bum!).
3 years ago, I was in an abusive relationship (mentally, emotionally & sexually) and it had stressed me out so much that I had become sick (TMI - diarrhea multiple times until there wasn't anything left to come out.....) and I became super lean.
I know how to lift. I know how to eat clean. But I find since I'm not in that relationship anymore, I'm constantly hungry. I've calculated my macros. Read countless threads on diets/healthy eating/etc etc etc but I can't wrap my stomach around feeling hungry. I get so grumpy when I'm not eating. And when I'm stressed (my boyfriend's son is a handful) I feel so strongly to eat crap - peanutbutter, chocolate, crackers - whatever is going to "get me through the stress".
I'm struggling so much & it makes me so unhappy. I'm at the heaviest I've been in a long time (162!!) I would love the guidance of a coach, unfortunately my finances just won't allow me to purchase that luxury. Can anyone suggest how I can overcome being an emotional eater? I use myfitnesspal, measure my food & plan my meal timing but the hunger kills me & I hate being in a mood because of it. I do other things to occupy myself (we have a big house that never stops needing cleaned) or meal prep (always done by me when I have time) etc etc. But I always turn to food for help when I'm emotional. Any advice or comments are greatly appreciated...
