    Hey everyone my name is Amy. This is a really big challenge for me to take on but I know with support anything is possible! I struggle with emotional and stress eating. No matter what I have tried so far to avoid the uncontrolled eating episodes it just hasn't worked. But I am ready to really work on this!

    Hi everyone. My name is Sara. I am an emotional eater. I have lost 60 pounds since January and I was doing really well controlling the binge eating. Then I recently hit a really rough time in life and I went right back to my old ways of binge eating. The past 2 weeks as been a free for all. I still have 40 pounds to lose and it isn't going to happen if I am eating like a wild-woman. It isn't going to be easy, but I hope that with the support of others in the same boat, we can do this together.

    My name is Amy too!!
    And yes! We can do this together!!

    I'm a university student, and *very serious* competitive cyclist... I'm sooo paranoid about losing weight for the race season, that I eat way to restrictively, then binge. I'm probably the only person in the world that eats only salads regularly, then binges, and still manages to gain weight, while burning like 2k calories/ training day...

    I really like your idea of keeping a binge free tally :)

    Hi, My name is Joanne, I have been on this particular journey for 6 weeks. I started off really well, 6kgs in the first 2 weeks. Now, 4 weeks on, it's still the same.


    This is a great idea. Hoping it keeps me accountable:)

    Hi :) I'm monica and I started out doing really great and lost 90+ pounds. I have been binging a lot lately, and need to get it back under control if I'm ever going to get to 150. I normally eat pretty healthy, but binge when I get super stressed. I am married with a little 2 year old and working on having another. My husband works 28 days on an oil platform and then is home 28 days, so I'm home alone the majority of the time. I'm also orginally from Phoenix, AZ and currently living in Mexico, so I have some good friends out here, but still don't get out as much as I should and I know its contributing to my over eating.

    I'm hopeful this will help me get my eating back on track once and for all.

    Keeping a tally and having a group that understands is awesome :)

    Hey everyone! I'm a binge eater like the rest of you... I tend to do really good for a long time, and then for one reason or another, I eat until I'm ready to puke.

    Hi! I'm Ally and I just started using this site. I have had problems with binging since I started to diet in middle school. I have gotten a lot better in the past year but I still have binges more often than I would like. This weekend I baked the most ridiculous brownie creation and ate almost half the pan myself. It was definitely the worst binge I have had in a while and I want to make sure it doesn't happen again. Its so stupid because I literally eat until I feel sick its not pleasant at all and every time I say I'm going to remember how bad I feel but then I go and do it again! I'm glad that there are other people here who are struggling with the same thing, I think having some support could be really helpful :)

    Hello. My name is Krissy. I'm just starting out on this site...for the second time :). Binge eating is one of my major problems. I'm only about a week in and its going well so far. However, I know that its normal to slip up now and then and I'm worried that the first time I binge I will get completely off track.

    I am living away from my home state for school and yesterday I got a care package from some friends that included an entire tray of chocolate peanut butter rice crispies (one of my absolute favorite things)! It was my first real test of will power and I successful in having only one piece.

    Also feel free to add me as a friend. I'm looking to get and give some more support!

    Hi! I am 26, have been on MFP for (wow!) almost a year now, and I'm recovering from having an EDNOS (undiagnosed, but that's what I suspect) in my teens. I don't have the full out binges that I had back then, but I still struggle a lot with overeating and emotional eating (which always sounds so strange to me because when I do it, I am a total robot devoid of any emotion at all). I have a slew of other emotional issues that I am trying to work through and deal with because I realize that not dealing with them all lead back to my compulsive eating...
