How to not overeat or stress eat or eat when tired fatigued fatigue lacking sleep?

[ADoll]

Thank you mizach! I also bought the full version of MyDietCoach but it didn't do anything for me too. So far I'm loving MFP for tracking my food intake.
I think I'll try Habits.

people discount/dismiss how important sleep is.

the good thing is that you've realized why you're eating, so do the thing that's causing you to eat - if you're fatigued, get some sleep. if you can't sleep because you're worried/anxious, address whatever it is that is worrying you or causing your anxiety.

meditation has also helped me tremendously. i am not a master of it, but it has forced me to observe myself. i can sit there and "know" that food will not solve whatever problem i may be perceiving about myself, simply by observing what's going on in my stomach (....that it just got fed and there's no possibility that food is needed).

try it - try & observe yourself, even for just 5 deep long breaths.

Argggh! I had a really stressful last few weeks (crazy work shifts again and not much actual holiday fun). Anyway, it's amazing that now I'm getting back to a normal schedule my caloric intake is literally 1/3 to 1/4 of before. I really have to sort this out because my ridiculous schedule is not going to change anytime soon. If anyone has any other tips, I would really appreciate it.
