A gym newbie no longer!
Thanks to everyone who offered advice on my first trip to the gym! I wasn't able to go until yesterday (car wouldn't start :mad: ) but it went pretty well overall, I think.

Anyone else dealing with an eating disorder?

Being overweight is very new to me and its not easy to diet because I have to be careful that I don't fall back into old habits. 10 years ago I could have dropped 10 pounds in less than a week, but there was always that risk of death.

Time to get my head in the game!
The last two weeks I've had some pretty serious stress issues. I have gained 6 pounds thanks to my emotional eating.
