in Introduce Yourself
Hi. I'm not new to MFP but am finally deciding to take charge of my weight loss. I have issues with emotional eating which can be very difficult at times. I'm looking for some friends, so please feel free to add me!

    HI Brynne. Feel free to add me. I saw your profile and you and I have something in common, we've both been overweight at a very young age. I can't remember what it was like to be at a healthy weight because I don't think I was ever there. I remember as a child in grade school, even kindergarten that I was a bit heavier than most kids. Gym was the pits! :) Anyway, feel free to add me. Lets do this!!!

    You can all add me too - I've been struggling for the past few weeks, since I returned from Florida where I got married! I started at my highest weight of 206.5 and got down to 165 on 7 September! But it has slowly crept up since my return to 173 :-( so I'm looking for some friends for motivation and encouragement and hope to do the same for others!

    HI~ I am new to this site! Thank you for adding me! Any time you need some help just send me a message.
    One thing I do is when I am having an emotional day and think about turning to food, I think to myself what can I do instead of eat....I will either clean something or workout. All depending on what time of day it is and which kids are home...LOL! I also keep gum in the house so I can chew on that instead of eat. These were all little go to things I would use when i went from 165 to 130.
    Now I started this week at 160 my hishest since 165....now I am going to get to 130 again!
    Good Luck and stay positive!

    Hey Brynne!!! I am back too. OMG...I am such an emotional eater. I know what I need to do and I need to just do it. I dont understand what holds me back. And now on top of everything..I have gained back some weight. So all the work over the summer is now gone. But I need to move forward. Weight doesnt seem to be such an issue for a lot of my friends and coworkers but I am cursed with horrible genetics and bad behavior. good luck...keep in touch......WE CAN DO THIS!!
