Right now I'm working on using coping skills instead of running to food when I'm stressed. My eating plan is based on counting calories and staying away from food triggers.

For exercise I'm walking 3 or 4 days a week in my neighborhood. There are a lot of other folks out walking so it feels safe.

This is a great thread. Thanks for sharing everyone.

I always eat when I'm stressed..... I know I have a food addiction and have for pretty much all my life. I looked into Overeaters Anonymous at one time but my work schedule conflicted with the meetings. I should check into it now that I only work weekends....
