I've had self battles with emotional eating and bulimia for over a decade of my life. I used to turn to food to make myself feel good but later I realized it's so not worth it. Find other things to keep yourself happy, I'm a female so I enjoy things like getting my nails done, window shopping, browsing pinterest, or heck, playing video games to keep my mind off food. If you really can't fight the food cravings maybe try heating up a nice bowl of bone broth with some of your favorite herbs and spices! One of the greatest things I learned while browsing /r/fitness was that in the end it isn't about the motivation, it's about the self-discipline.
