Struggling with Emotional Eating and Weight Gain

I was never a snacker/late night snacker until I became depressed. even now I hate it but once my mind starts thinking about snacking it won't stop until I grab something. it's so annoying. I've gained alot of weight since getting sick (before the snacking kicked in) and I'm trying to lose it but this is NOT helping.

I have too I think my birth control implant is partially responsible

I don't think I was on bc at the time. Mine was from mobility restrictions. Although let the doctors tell it, I was just pigging out all the time which couldn't be further from the truth.

Try healthier snacks. Apples, fruit, veggies.

I'm a late night snacker too. I was just thinking about making sure I have healthy snacks available instead of junk

Nut butters if you aren’t allergic.

Try lollipops that curb appetites, eggs, nuts, fruit, unsalted and unbuttered popcorn, or drink more water when you feel snacky

I love snacking on things like celery since it has a high water content and is very low in calories. I also like apples, carrots, and seeds that still have the shell like sunflower and pumpkin. Sometimes I just need something to chew on
