in Getting Started
I just joined a few minutes ago and I struggle with over eating and boredom eating.. any tips?


I'm 5'1 and 200 pounds my first goal is losing 30 pounds then maybe setting another goal.


Anyways, I am currently on a new job search and hopefully that will fill my time better.

    I just joined this a few days ago but find this so overwhelming I guess since is on my phone and everything is so small. There is so much to look at.

    Welcome to the community! <3

    If you haven't already, read the stickies at the top of the getting started forum. Very informative and helpful.

    Buy a food scale. Weigh everything you eat and log into the food diary.

    Good luck with your journey!

    I boredom eat also. Something I just recently figured out lol.

    Find something else to do if you're bored. Make new habits like drinking a glass of water instead of eating something. Go for a walk. Plan a snack and stick to it. Identifying the habit is a big first step I think.

    Welcome. Your short term goals are a smart idea. I am also on the job hunt and got into working out to pass the time. Has helped a lot with boredom eating and has other added benefits. :D

    1. Echo: "Buy a food scale".
    2. Use the food scale.
    3. Enter everything.
    4. Don't rush.


    Welcome!
