Hi I am a married female who has just started to get my life back. I have about 5 stone to lose and am an excuse eater, emotional, bored eater, comfort eater and binge eater ( any excuse really) . I have a good personality which i hide behind. Please feel free to say hi as we all need a friendly hi from time to time. I am a shift worker that works around the clock and also look after my family. Thanks for listening. x

    Hi ! I think most folks who struggle with weight are "excuse eaters" or emotional eaters.....you have found the right spot. Best of luck to you.

    I work nights - 6 twelve hours shifts in a row in a busy ER. So my over eating is emotional/stress. And of course the food I used to reach for was high carbs, sugar - just the bad stuff. I have just joinjed this sight and looking forward to using the tools available here. Good luck to everyone.
