New friends

Hello everyone,

My name is Emily, and I live in Atlanta. I used to be pretty active on MFP awhile back, and I've recently gotten back on it for the past three weeks or so to achieve some fitness and weight loss goals. I had been feeling very stressed and lonely and turned to food and alcohol to help cope. This caused me to gain 12 or so pounds, and I need to lose it! My whole life I've been athletic and active and haven't eaten too unhealthy. That fell completely to the wayside since about April. I've basically decided to make my health a priority again and I'm sticking to the plan. :)

Anyway, I'd love to gain more friends on here for mutual support, advice, etc. Please send me a message if you'd like to connect.

Thanks!
