I have only been on Phen for 2 days now and my head is telling me something different than my body. I find that while I am not physically hungry...mentally or emotionally I still want food.

Food has been a comfort to me in the past. How do you get your head to the same place as your body? How do you stop your emotional eating?

I just kind of gave you my answer in your journal thread. I think we just need to replace those times we used to spend mindlessly eating with a good habit--like posting here or taking a walk, take a bubble bath, read a book, anything til the craving goes away!

I'm working towards that too. The best way I've found to stop the need
to give into my food-emotion problems is to do cardiovascular exercise.
Next on the list is to use the mind over matter technique to concentrate
on something else, as Cyn suggested; such as working, reading, or
checking in at PhenForum.

You can make it. I was there, and when I get depressed, it comes back
a little bit. But just keep focused on your goals, and it will become easier
and easier to let go of the emotional eating.

Thanks for the replies. I think that is my toughest struggle when trying to lose weight.
