in Introduce Yourself
Hi! :) I'm new here. I suffer from binge eating disorder and as a result have gained crazy amounts of weight... I found this app and thought it would be absolutely amazing for me. Part of BED is not eating for a while and then eating a crazy amount of junk food, but MFP has given me a way to guarantee I get 3 healthy meals a day! Meeting my calorie goal is big motivation.

I am also taking this journey with my mum who has always wanted to lose weight but has never stuck to diets etc. She isn't dieting at the moment but she is exercising with me 3 times a week, either in the gym or playing squash (with a 30 min swim afterwards!) and we plan to go on bike rides on the days that we don't go to the gym. She is also quitting smoking after almost 30 years of it, and I am so proud of her for making it this far! I hope that MFP will keep me motivated enough to motivate her, too!

Any advice is definitely welcome (and needed!) because I'm so new to this whole healthy eating thing!!

    I have started to have success creating a diet that works for ME.
    No fad diets or anything of the sort. I basically have taken everything I have learned and put together something that works for me.

    The key is hunger.

    Understanding when you are the most hungry will help you create a system that will work for you.
