I think I have a problem...?

Question

I'm a stay at home military mom and wife my husband is gone alot and I eat all day long it's like I'm never full and I'm not overweight but I'm afraid I will be I try to tell myself not to eat but it's all I think about food, food, food. How can I stop?

Answer 1

You're just using food as a substitute for missing your husband. It's so understandable. If you can't control the amount you eat, buy healthier snacks( veggies, fruits, etc) so when you munch at least you're healthy. Plus, surround yourself with activities and friends. Being alone just causes your loneliness and worry to increase. Keep yourself busy. Volunteer. Join a class. Just keep busy. It may also help if you keep a journal of what you eat and when. Remember you're also showing your children how to relate to food. I wish you the best.

Answer 2

My husband is retired navy. You can look at the activies offered by the navy for wives while their husbands are away on cruise. I took up making stained glass and still love it. You just need to refocus your activities to something positive.

How about joining an exercise class for yoga or pilates? Instead of reaching for food, try to get into the habit of reaching for the phone and talk to a friend. You need moral support just like every other military wife whose spouse is away for long periods. Reach out.

Answer 3

eat more wholesome foods and you will not be hungry all the time. Eat raw vegetables whole wheats and grains, nuts such as almonds cashews but do not eat peanut, peanuts are very hard to digest and have very little nutritional value. Do not eat sugar, sugar will make you fell hungry all the time.lt has no nutrition, l used to be a compusive eater for many years years until l gave up the sugar. Now l feel more energy eating less.

Answer 4

Try to go out alot with your kids and play games with your child. Maybe join a club or go for a walk. Anything to keep you out of the house eating food.
