But otherwise, no. And I have had a very long stretch (my entire married life, since 2002) of being so stressed, or disillusioned, or just plain sad... that the overeating has been continuous.

We discuss weight a lot on this forum

I heard that girls who didn't receive much maternal love - or at least feel they haven't - don't have success with diets.

So all I can say is Moon aspects/placement/rulership yada yada....

Pisces sun and merc 12thH
Taurus Mars in 2H
4th and 5th HCusps in Cancer
Cancer Ruler (Moon) in Scorpio in 7th Conjunct Pluto (opposing my mars in taurus)
-Scorpio is 8thH Ruler
Jupiter Conjunct Sun and Rising Sign

I eat emotionally especially when it comes to problems with relationships and internalized sex drive. Here it is in a destructive way. Also, I fed others and eat as a 'joy of life' and I think that you must indulge yourself but in good measure :-)

I'm not an emotional eater. Drinker, sometimes, but I control that--only as a very last resort if I have had the day from hell, and always in my own home, safe, not out on the street. Plus, I know how many calories are in a lot of my favorite drinks, so that is a motivator to not do it, as is my job (I want to do well at work, so I don't ever want to show up hung over).

I used to be heavier than I am now, and that's my motivator for not going back to it. Honestly, vanity is what keeps me from emotional eating (and I have a Cancer moon). The most that I will let myself have of sweets is one or two hard candies/small wrapped candies. Even then, I feel a lot of guilt about it.

I'm medium height; used to be 4-5 sizes larger than I am now and I've kept that off for years now. I have a Capricorn Mars.

I'm strict about what I eat. I'm not a "low carb" person or anything (I am strict about not eating certain kinds of carbs, but I do eat whole grains), but I do count calories and watch the fat, sugar, sodium, stuff like that. I don't eat meat (very, very rarely--like once every few years and only a small amount), fried foods (about as often as I eat meat), and I am careful about how much cheese I eat. I measure everything.

I do enjoy cooking, but I save it for special occasions and always plan ahead by eating less on the day before/day after. I do the same when I know that I am going out to eat; if I don't know and it's spontaneous, and I accept the invitation, I will go light the next day or two.

When I am upset, I have no appetite. When it's serious, I can go days without being hungry or eating. Less serious, I can skip a meal or two and not even notice. When I feel angry, going on my bike helps a lot, as do my hand weights and exercise ball.

Me, when I used to overeat, it was more mindless/boredom overeating than emotionally related.

As for Venus, I have it trine the moon and Jupiter. I have a Grand Trine in water. I have Venus conjunct Pluto in the 12th.

I know a Leo guy that is occupied with maintaining perfect physique so that he doesn't need health care, esp. in old age. He has Mars (and Venus, Mercury, and Juno) in Virgo. And, yes, He looks good! lol

I'm on the slow track to the breatharianism that Linda Goodman prescribes in "Star Signs." I've been a vegetarian for over a year now which was easy but this year will be a bit of a challenge because I resolved to become a vegan.... and I looooove dairy and eggs. But Cap Mars says no pain no gain.

Groceries are getting so expensive though...it would be awesome for the budget if I could find sustenance from prana
