Hey! So I'm Stef, from New York and I just joined myfitnesspal.. yay for me! Being 22, I've finally decided that I need to get my life on track. Actually, I've known this for a while. I've tried so many diets in the past. I need support. I need motivation. I'm looking everywhere, and that includes right here on this site. Nice to meet all of you

Something that really helped me as an emotional eater was to learn behavioral psychology. Try to make a plan on how to address your emotions without eating. Thing about three other things you could do when you are angry or sad, etc. Build a support system. Don't keep junky food around your house. Instead, put barriers in your way when it comes to overeating. Set your environment up for success instead! Good luck.

Welcome to MFP! you have come to the right place. I love it here! The members are incredible and the feeling you get each day when you finish your diary and it says you will weigh x amount by this date... it's just awesome! Keeps me motivated, that's for sure.
