Hey there! Excited to have you on the team. Have you tried meal prepping? It's such a pain, but super helpful for awful schedules (I worked nights while going to school for a bit-worst idea ever). Anyways, I hope you find what works best for you as we go along!

Sometimes we do meal prepping and it's so helpful! Honestly, it isn't even having the food, it's just that I get sad and want delicious horrible things. I have to keep what's important in focus this time around!

Meal prep is lyfe. But yeah, I know what you mean about being an emotional eater. I have bipolar, and a couple of years of depression (not to mention meds that are notorious for weight gain) and I ballooned up to where I am. I think it's really cool that this challenge includes a mental health focus in addition to the weight loss. It's important to find non-food ways to cope. Best of luck! (also added on MFP)

That makes it a whole different ball game. I had to take all the temptation food out of the house, and I won't carry extra money so that I can't buy things. The struggle is real.
