Emotional Eating

I am an emotional eater. The faster I acknowledge it, the sooner I will be able to change it. My childhood was rough as far as my weight. I have memories of drastic measures that my parents tried to get to lose weight. Examples: Being sat down and spoken to (by multiple family members) about how being heavy is bad and I will have a hard time “finding love”.or with my overall social life. I remember other things such as, a lock being put on the refrigerator, being signed up for multiple diet programs along with the 4-5 months I spent in Uruguay at the age of 12. I look back and remember being bullied at school for being fat, then coming home and being judged by my parents. All this must have left a mark, I just don’t know where or how. I recall having emotional eating moments as a child but I don’t think I had as big as an issue as I have as an adult. I remember when it started getting worse, it was a year or so after my lapband surgery.I started craving sugar a lot more than I ever have. I am not sure why, but since then I turn to sugar/fat when I am feeling down or am stressed.
