Success journal 912: Determination to live

Last week I have been binged eating. Maybe is because I am going through an emotional state. 

Stress eating has been a symptom of mine. I tend to eat more when I am unhappy. It seems like I can solve all my problem by stuffing my face. Is actually a kind of suicide. 

I have to change my mindset, so I can live healthily with my kids and wife. 

Discipline.
