I was in a very low and unhealthy place when I got started 9 months ago. This way of eating actually helped pull me out of it. A little success goes a long way in turning things around. What helped me get started was to focus on one thing and one thing only... sticking to low carb, on plan food. Don't worry about weight loss. Don't worry about calorie count, carb count, or eating too much or too little fat, protein, or what ever. Turn your emotional eating on to some on-plan foods that you like to eat. It won't offer the same comfort -- but it will provide some comfort and it will help you get by. Don't worry if you eat too much. Just stay away from your go-to high carb comfort foods. Make them not an option. Do it today. Then tomorrow, do it again. When I started, I was eating a lot of food. I did not weigh myself. If I felt like eating, I did -- but only low carb on plan foods -- no exceptions. Worry about what you eat and do what ever it takes to get by. Doing this pulled me out of my depression and misery and I started to feel better. Eventually the ship started to right itself and the amount I ate started to diminish without any effort. Within a few months, a new me started to emerge and life became much, much better. The desire to eat the unhealthy, carb loaded junk started to fade away and sticking to plan food became easier with each passing day. Having some success and eating healthy helped me start to find joy and happiness with life. As I said, I started at a low point in my life. There was not much reason to expect good things to happen. But good things did happen. And it was focusing on one thing - eating only the right kinds of food - that got the ball rolling in the right direction.
I hope you can find a way. What I did may work for you -- or it may not. But it is surely worth a shot. Keep trying. It really is nice to get off the roller coaster and move in one direction for a while.
