Trying to get back on track.

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

I started listening to 's podcasts about 3-4 months ago, and

they have helped tremendously! I lost more weight than I even

thought was possible and I wasn't killing myself with exercise or

starving myself on a strict diet, which was a first for me. I was

incredibly happy! Then things took a turn for the worse when I

graduated and started my first full-time office job. I spend 1.5

hours commuting on a train every day; I spend 9 hours working in

front of a computer (bored to tears because things are slow at the

office right now); and when I get home, the last thing I want to do

is exercise. I have tried exercising before work, but it's difficult

getting up at 4:45 AM to sneak in a work-out. This, in turn, has

stressed me out, which has led me to binge eat again. Slowly, I have

begun to put on about 5-7 lbs (I don't weigh myself so this is an

estimate) that I effortlessly lost with 's strategies.

I'm writing this post to ask for some help in how I can battle this

horrible change in my motivation. I think part of the reason I have

resorted to binge eating again is that I strongly dislike my job.

It's easy, but I HATE sitting at a desk all day, and because there

is little to do I am bored all day at the computer. I have only been

at the job for over a month but am having trouble adjusting from

college life to work life. I'm unhappy, stressed, and taking my

stress out on my eating. Please help!
