This is a great idea.

I too am an emotional eater and and was in binge cycle after getting some bad news.

But for the last 10 days I have pulled myself together and I am doing much better.

My basic approach to healthy eating is to eat as close to natural as possible. I eat mostly fresh fruits and vegetables and lean meats. I limit processed foods as much as possible. Try to avoid white foods like sugar , flour etc. I prefer to eat my calories so I drink only water and coffee(my weakness) and tea. I prefer to eat fruit rather than drink it so I only drink fruit juice very occasionally.

I do not count calories. I prefer to limit the kind of foods that I eat, eat only when hungry and eat only until full.

I am so glad you guys started this thread so now we can all work together to meet our goals.

Good luck everyone.
