in Introduce Yourself
Hi, my name's Jessica. I just joined a few days ago at the urging from my sister. She's just joined as well and "encouraged" me to join her so she would have someone to do this with. I'm a bit of a nosher and am most definitely an emotional eater. When I start feeling depressed or negatively emotional, I tend to end up at the supermarket or nearest 7-11 and buy Ben&Jerry's Chunky Monkey or Late Night Snack; as well as Uta's chips and chocolate bars. I've recently come to realize that what I've been doing is just causing myself harm. So I've decided to turn over a new leaf.


Here's to finding similar minded people who are willing to support each other.

    Good luck on your journey. It is hard to diet, coming from being a student myself. But it gets better in time and trust me in time you will be saying "ewww junk food." I found myself saying just that last week. lol.
