Hey everyone!
My name is Kristen and I am a 21 year old nursing student...which means I currently have no life! haha
I came across this group while looking through myfitnesspal thinking about how I needed to get back on track with my weight loss and how I completely regret binge eating last night. Binge eating as always been part of my life since I was a kid and I have never been able to truly control it. I am a emotional/stress/bored eater so with all of these problems combined it makes it super hard to stay on track! When I first went to college I had lost 30 lbs by eating healthy, exercising regularly, and always keeping myself busy and occupied. I was so happy with how my body looked and for not gaining the "freshman 15" and I was at my lowest and most comfortable weight of 145 lbs. But of course like all things, I got into nursing school and life got extremely stressful. I started to binge eat my stress and I never had time to exercise. I stayed up late, would get no sleep, and eat for energy. I can remember times in which I wouldn't eat the entire day until It was late at night and I would order a whole pizza to myself and eat it all until it hurt. I hated myself afterward. I have gained almost 50 pounds in the past 3 years and I'm so upset with myself. I miss how I had felt being proud of my body when I was at my best, but the stress of school has really took a toll on me. So here I am, finally on a small break in school (I go back in May) and I'm really wanting to get back on the kick of things! I want to nourish my body and love it but it's so hard sometimes when I look in the mirror. I know I must take care of myself before I can take care of others so this is truly why I want to get back to eating right, exercising regularly and trying to stay stress free.
Anyone have any similar experiences? Any tips for me?? Anything will help! Thank you so much guys!!!
