I'm so happy to have found this group!

My name is Sonya and I'm 41 years old. I found and joined MFP Jan 6 of this year. I'm currently down 31 pounds since then.

I have had a real struggle with binge eating for the last 20 or so years. I've NEVER had anyone I could admit this to. I eat out of control when I'm alone (first time I've ever admitted that) hiding the sheer volume of food I can consume. My weight has skyrocketed over the years due to this. I finally decided this has to stop. Forever. I have to find a way to beat the binge.

Since Jan I've managed to get my daily binging habit down to about once a week. Hey, better than 7 days a week! But a few weeks ago I became pretty sick and went on Prednisone, a steroid, for 10 days. It makes me ravenous. So I basically binged for a week. Gained 2 pounds. Four days were completely out of control. But that was then. I reigned it in and I'm now 5 days binge free, again.

I hope this group is active because I need support and want to offer support to others <3
