This website is great!

I signed up about 2 weeks ago, and all ready, I've learned so much.

A little about me - I'm 28, 5'2", and don't really need to lose weight. I have a small frame, and I weigh about 115, and my mom says she's going to commit me if I lose anymore. But I wouldn't mind getting to110. That's still healthy for my size.

I love the community here and think that the encouragement and interaction with other people in the same boat as me will really help. I may seem like I don't have any food issues, but I kinda do. If I don't keep track of what I'm eating and actually record it before the day even starts, I get out of control. My life is pretty messed up right now, and I crave two things when I'm alone and feeling sorry for myself - sour cream and onion chips and bacon pizza. Then I hate myself for eating it all and refuse to eat the next day and workout like crazy.

So I just wanted to introduce myself and thank everyone ahead of time! I think this website and the people here are really going to help me stay on track!

Thanks to everyone!

I agree iftcheiaf. I've always been pretty healthy. I was blessed with a great mom who knew that half of our plate at dinner should be veggies. She made us drink at least two glasses of milk, we only got 2 snacks a day, and we had to eat breakfast. I was raised loving my fruits and vegetable and knowing what a balanced meal was.

Like I said, my problem comes when I'm alone and depressed which happens kinda a lot.

Well, then know that you're not alone. I'm am emotional eater, stressed out eater, depressed starver. No balance. I didn't have quite the balanced mother you had, but I am making sure that I am giving my daughter the best example possible.

I hear that doing something with your hands help. Haven't quite gotten into knitting yet, but I hear it works. Either way, just know that you will have great support here. Read through old posts. Sometimes just pick out the ones with the jokes. I find that just trying to change your mind set (and trust me, I know that is no easy feat), can change your desire for food.

Thanks, I will. I'm like you - I know I just said I eat a bag of chips when I'm depressed, but it's weird. When I'm depressed, the idea of food makes me feel sick. I actually dropped 15 pounds in 2 months this past summer b/c I stopped eating. Except for the chips and the occasional bacon pizza. It doesn't even make sense that I do both, does it? That I binge AND starve myself?

I'm kinda depressed again, and my craving for chips came back, as well as my desire to not eat anything. But, so far, I haven't bought any chips, and I've been making myself stick to my menu. So far, so good.

And as for doing something with my hands - I write and love to read. Although I love to munch while I read. but I can't eat while I'm typing because then I get the keyboard all yucky. PLUS, I usually get totally into whatever I'm writing and don't think about the food!
