trying to lose 10 pounds

Hey everyone, i need some help! i really want to lose 10 pounds, but lately i have been pretty stressed out. This stress has lead to binge eating...it's not like im eating junk though. The binge usually consists of raw granola and dates with almond butter. I have gained weight though and it is killing me! i want to be back and thin as a was in October. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, i do excercise alot, i would think it would help with my stress but it always comes back to me munching. PLEASE HELP!

thank you

love and peace

    I'm surprised no one has given advise yet, because these folks are really, really good when it comes to stress advice.

    Going for grains, fats and sugars is pretty natural when you are under stress. Of course, it's the worst thing to eat at this time, because in my opinion, they cause many more drastic ups and downs. Can you increase your intake of greens? Green juices, or even green smoothies? Drop out the raw granola. I know it's raw, but it's still grain. Drop the dried fruits for now, and eat fresh only. I like fats, but I would be careful with them. (Oh, you realize that almost all almond butters are cooked? Maybe you can make your own raw nuts/seed butter, just to be sure. )

    I really do know how you feel, and I'm sorry for you. I'm going through a lousy time myself and need to take off a few pounds. I've been binging, which is something I have not down in a year. It sucks:**(

  • Thank you for the advice, good luck in your rough times.
