Hello Kim...
Over eating... like any other bad habit, is there to satisfy a need... for some, it is a way of fighting frustration... for others a way of getting away from painful emotion... etc...
So, if you can find out another way of compensating... it could help you tremendously toward achieving the weight loss that you want...
My wife is very much in clothes and fashion... so, the satisfaction that she gets from looking good in nice clothes compensates very well for the sacrifices that she has to make in order to stay slim and trim...
That's her technique... maybe you could find yours...
Best of luck to you...
