mindless eating as comfort

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I would like your ideas on how to reduce the kind of eating I do where eating is

not the focus - TV eating and computer eating at night are the worst events.

I have tried not having trigger foods, and having them.

I have put notes in the basket where the food is, to check in with myself re:

the purpose of the eating.

I have eaten more, and less, at dinner.

I have changed my routine.

When I am in the moment of it, I find I am not able to question my old thinking

of how I deserve this binge, or how it doesn't count. Sometimes I think it is

simply the power of habit. Other times I blame perimenopausal hormonal chaos.

Sometimes I know I am lonely or disturbed in some way, and am actively avoiding

facing that.

I have listened to the IE CDs and am reading the book. I've listened to a G.

Roth interview, but am 61 on the hold list at the library. Popular book! I

appreciate the posts I read here, and the recent links to other blogs. Thanks

much,
