Hello from OKC

Hi! My name is Sarah, I'm a Creative Studies major in college, and I'm trying to lose weight. A girl I despise told me about this site and since it worked for her, I figured it would work for me. I have lost about 8 pounds since last month, though some of that is due to poor eating habits - namely, forgetting to eat.

I am having a wedding ceremony in September and it's important to me to look my best in the dress I have chosen. My goal weight is 160 (since I am 5'11", with a large bone structure), which I have attained once in my life, back in my freshman year of college.

Because of my husband, I am eating more healthfully, but it's tough at times because our best friends eat a lot of junk food. I used to be a very emotional eater, but I have learned to figure out whether I'm actually hungry or just emotional by drinking a ton of water (I drink about a gallon a day). If I drink lots of water, and my stomach is still making gurgly noises, then I'm truly hungry. If not, then my body is just trying to trick me.

What I really need from people on this site is support. I would love to be able to add friends on this site (since nobody I know is dieting...it's very lonely, dieting alone). I need people to smack me when I go over my calorie limit and congratulate me when I lose weight.

Sorry for the long, rambling post. I need to get back to homework. I hope to hear from some of you soon!

Sarah
