Hello!

I am new to myfitnesspal, only been using for about a week, but I love it! It really keeps me honest.

About me: I am 23, under HEAPS of stress and I just had a baby in September. I am a single mom, who is desperately searching for a job, and going to college at the same time. In addition, I am an anxious eater. Add it all up, and I've got problems. But I've decided to focus on that which I can control. Namely, my eating/exercise habits and the job thing. So, my first to goals: Lose 23 pounds of baby weight by February 1st and find a job by the end of January. I can do it!

    :wink: Hello, I am a nurse too. And I feel like during the holidays I eat so much more junk because all of our patients bring in wonderful goodies to thank us. I am appreciative however I just want to say can I just get a fruit basket. LOL!! My advice is to bring plenty of your own wonderful tasting snacks. And even spluge on some low cal snacks that you wouldnt normally let yourself purchase, like an exotic fruit or expensive dark chocolate. This way you will have a treat for yourself.
