in Introduce Yourself
I am a yo yo dieter. I have been small as a size 4 at my thinnest.. and now I am a 22. I am a stress eater. I need to feel pretty again and I guess I need to track. Apparently I binge when I am stressed and I have a son with a chronic illness who plays highschool football who almost died of acute renal failure over the weekend of Halloween...So stress and eat bad bad things.

I just let go of the ww stuff, b/c it stresses me out. I stayed pretty much on my calorie limit. I hope i can make it lower soon. What I would like to do is eat a bunch of ice cream and potato chips.. but I am typing instead.

Oh and my name is Jane.. not Jame.. I fat fingered my typing..

Take care

Jane

    welcome...

    just remember this is a marathon not a sprint... slow and steady wins the race.

    have a little ice cream or chips just dont pig out on a bag of chips or a half gallon of ice cream

    once you get started towards a new healthier lifestyle you will learn to eat within your limits and will be able to occasionally have those things that are not so good for you in moderation

    Im young, only 20 but went from a size 1 to size 13. mostly from stress eating as well! we have somethings in common, i want to feel good about myself again as I once did. I think the hardest part is knowing how good you feel as a lighter and fitter person but ive just stopped caring and ate my feelings.
