Thanks everyone for the kind words. If I can overcome my food addiction so can everyone else! We are stronger than we want or able to believe!

I am happy to say that my wife and I started a weight loss support group at our church so that we can hopefully help build that community of support locally and help others see that they too can get to where they want to be.

Bless you. I think that's so important. I don't have a family to support me and my friends are miles away. I have to move country (different language, different culture, etc.). In fact that's why I put weight on, because of my lack of exercise + eating for boredom. I wish I had a physical support group. MFP is great, but it can replace a proper support group. Please, keep us updated of how your support group goes, etc. Wish you the best to you and your family.

I think a lot of us eat with our emotions. It's a dangerous cycle. I always felt better while eating, but then worse after. So, to make myself feel better I ate some more.

Truly an amazing story. I congratulate you for making it this far. I could relate to you because I know that it is not easy to just give up food like that and I know because I could say was the type of person that used to eat when I got angry or depressed. It has taken a lot for me to avoid it from happening in a short amount of time. You are truly an inspiration and I will always remember your story and keep going to achieve my goal. Thanks for sharing your story with us.
