Hello Everyone!

SweetPeaHoneyB

Hi! My name is Angie and I'm a chef. I live in Arizona. I was chubby when I was little. I was called names a lot when I was in elementary school. So I kept eating and eating. When I started high school got even bigger. I was made fun too and I became depressed. I never told anyone how I felt so I ate a lot too hide what I was feeling. I felt so alone. I found out that I'm an emotional eater and I eat when I'm bored. I find myself being hungry at night. So, I would eat what ever I could get my hands on. Now I've topped off at 433.6 lbs and I'm ready to lose the weight. But now I realize that I need to do something about my weight. I'm tired of being out of breath when I walk far or go up the stairs. And my back and feet starts hurting if I stand on my feet too long. Since I'm a chef I have to be on my feet for many hours.

Hi Angie, Welcome to MFP. I believe if you stick to your calorie intake and do some exercise you can lose some weight. I have lost over 30 lbs since Jan. 2011. I am at a weight that I haven't been at for over 30 years. BTW I'm 47. If I can do this I have no doubt you can to. You being a chef caught my eye, since I have a 17 year old daughter who is wanting to be a chef. Also with a name like "SweetPeaHoneyB" who couldn't love a person with that name. Welcome!
