Hello, I've been "trying" to lose weight for a while now but until recently I finally admitted to myself that I was really not ready. I was not ready to give up my "comfort" foods or move my lazy body to start exercising. I have finally realized that life is too short and precious for me to continue to "waste" myself in this vicious cycle of yo-yoing. I am an emotional eater. I've wasted many years being overweight...NO MORE!!!!! I look forward to reading your posts for tips and motivation. For all of you out there being successful and sticking to the plan...CONGRATS!!!! I know soon enough I'll be among you.

    hi, welcome to our weight loss journey it's my second week and i'm sticking to my diet this site has been soooo helpful and I hope it's helpful for you too.
  • Welcome to MFP! I totally understand your post. I am an emotional eater, plus I'm a mindless eater. I eat even though I'm not hungry and make poor choices. I've been on (and off) MFP for over a year. When I was using it, this site changed my life. I'm back in the saddle again for the long term.

    I hope you have an amazing journey. When I started, someone told me "It's a marathon, not a sprint." Enjoy this marathon, and enjoy the changes in yourself. Good luck. Feel free to add me if you are looking for someone to add to your support team.
