Just wanted to say hello, I am so excited to have found this app on my phone! It really has helped me the last 3 days. I was probably eating 3,000 calories (if not, more!) per day since October when my life changed pretty quickly...but for the best Its just unfortunate that I turned to food. I am up 50 lbs since...and literally disgusted with it. I did this to myself once before and took off 60 lbs, I feel ready to do this again. It's not going to be easy for me as I LOVE FOOD! I have cried to people in the past as I was stuffing my face...but yet I kept eating, like seriously what is my problem???? I don't have the willpower to do this alone, so I am glad I am here! I am tired of hearing that I have a cute face...OH REALLY, THATS IT?? LOL. But I know what they mean, cuz I catch myself saying that about overweight people too. Once the lbs come off, we will be beautiful, all over!

Hi!

I have felt the same way before, I have cried to my family, to myself etc, and still kept stuffing my face. Will Power isn't easy, trust me. I have had a lot of problems with it myself, and from time to time still give in. You have to have faith in yourself that you can do this. I hope you have family and friends that support you. Whether you a big or little you have to do what you have to do in order to make yourself happy. If you are unhappy with the weight, then this is a great place to be. There are tons of people that have to lose weight. I have faith that you can do it, and I will help in any way I can.

Thanks so much ladies. This is not easy for anybody and it kills me inside when I hear such shallow people comment on people being fat..they dont realize half the battle. And when I whine, cry, make comments about myself being overweight, health people say "Well all u have to do is eat fruits and veggies, eat in moderation"...and I get so angry because I wish it was that easy! If thats ALL we had to do, wouldnt we all be pretty thin?? Food is an addiction...and I am addicted, as embarassed as I am to admit it. I knew these past months as I pigged out on EVERYTHING, Id find my way again but I just wasnt ready. I know when im ready, it just clicks one day...even after obsessing day after day about being fat and saying I will start mon, I will start mon, I will start mon...allowing myself a whole week to pig out again and soon enough the lbs packed on and I saw myself in pics and said WHOOOOAAAA, IS THAT ME???
