Hi My name is Snow. I am a big girl and need help reminding myself that food isn't everything. I am addicted to food. I eat when I am sad and angry and even happy. I don't want to be a big girl anymore and I'd like help and encouragement since I don't have it out in the real world.


Thanks

    Hi Snow!
    We could all use a little more encouragement in our lives. I have not told me husband that I am trying to lose weight. If I tell him I lost 5 pounds, he says. I can lose that in a day. Gee thanks for the support.

    We're in this together!

    Hi there... I hear you girl! I sometimes feel like my whole day revolves around what I am going to eat next. But there is hope. If food is important to you then like me, it may always be important. So I just changed what I keep at the house and what is within arms reach... So at night I can't eat cookies all night, I can only eat strawberries. And now I cook single servings more often so I don't pig out on everything at the table. It isn't easy and I have to earn it... but boy when I make myself be accountable and log it all it really started working. Good Luck!

    feel free to add me - I need friends and encouragement too. I am kinda newer to the site so we can learn this together. I am a bit over two weeks in and have lost 6 pounds so far. Anyone can add me. I am on every day - almost three times a day to log my food and exercise movements.
