in Introduce Yourself
My name is Stephanie, I am in Gahanna OH and I would like some weight loss pals to help keep me going. I am 44 years old and have been happily married for 27 years. I have 4 grown children and am a Nana to a beautiful 7 year old little girl and an adorable 7 month old boy. I also have 2 step granchildren that are 3 and 5 year old boys.
I have struggled with weight since my first pregnancy. 5 years ago I lost a large amount of weight on weight watchers and was finally back down to 165 from 295. Then 2 years ago something happened, and no matter what I was eating, and still working out, I started gaining weight ridiculously. I kind of gave up and said the heck with it. About a year ago I found out I had a dysfunctional thyroid. After months of trying to get my medication right, I am finally ready to get back on track. My biggest problem right now is that I AM AN EMOTIONAL EATER! When stress, or anxiety hit me, I hit the food.
I will be there for you, if you will be there for me.

    This. Working out really helps with stress levels and releases endorphins, so you feel even better after doing it! It can also help reduce that hungry/snackish feeling in the afternoon--feeling overwhelmed or snackish, take a walk:) Lol, I think "snackish" is a word my sister invented, but it works. I think it means when you feel a little hungry and want to have that cookie or whatever, but you're really just bored.

    Add me if you like, I'm new to this forum and just starting my journey after losing 3 stone a few years back and now sadly have put it all back on, due to my own fault, by saying I'll start again tomorrow, but tomorrow never comes, I comfort eat because i feel sad or stressed, and sad that I comfort eat, but today is the day that I do something about it. We will have good days and bad days but we will get there,
