There’s no cure for emotional eating, even if you take the diet pill. Trust me. I read an article in the Reader’s Digest that diet pills really work for the obese, but the thing is, you got to take it for the rest of your life, and treat it as a maintenance drug. Let’s say you have high blood pressure, you dont take medicine to keep it down and then when you feel better, you’d stop. It will come back.

And so does weight.
So what is the most effective way to do things?
Lifestyle change.

The problem with a lifestyle change is that it is complete turnaround of things. And it needs to be taken in small steps otherwise if you take big leaps, you are bound to miss a step and will come down crashing hard on the floor. It also takes up a lot of time, in a sense that you need to be conscious of it every single moment and CHOOSE to live another way.

And it takes years to get by.
Patience is not exactly one of my dear virtues.
But hey, I will get there.
