feeling hopeless

I just feel like I'll never get to where I want to be with eating. Maybe we all have our own goals, i mean - aside from kicking the sugar habit, we also have other things we'd like to work on?

For me...eating more slowly and learning to enjoy my food is a big one. I haven't really been able to do this or give myself permission, because I have always been such an emotional eater and binge-eat on the sugar.

Another huge source of frustration is..If others around me complain about their body, or how they need to lose weight and diet, it is so hard for me. I know that I can't stop that...the diet talk, the body talk will always exist in this world no matter what...but how can I think more positively and not get swept up by it?

And my body chemistry is so out of whack that I still can't seem to eat slow, and the fast eating feels like a binge no matter what. =(

Am I not eating enough during the day? I start with a shake, usually fruits, yogurt or fruit / soya milk, and this is the bfast I'm trying to keep at until it feels like a habit.
