    I dont know you...but I hope things work out for you...and dont beat yourself up, if you slip, no sense in dealing with one more thing to feel bad about.

    Thank you....I know things eventually will lead some where...even if it's not getting better...

    I started at 538lbs, if I can find the willpower so can you.

    When you're born you cry and your mother puts something in your mouth that feeds you and soothes you and you fall asleep. That's where it starts. :smile:

    Eating releases dopamine in the brain.

    Hang in there. Time heals. Find other comforting things. Or use food for now. There are worse things to soothe with. :flowerforyou:
