in Introduce Yourself
hey guys and gals, first post on here pretty nervous but super super excited,
I'm a 20 year old English girl who is currently studying to go to university in September. I moved from my mums to my dads 3 years ago and then moved out of my dad one year ago.
. Mostly I've loved living independently but I have noticed that my weight has really increased. When I lived at my mums she was extremely strict with food so I was always very thin.. perhaps too thin, and when I lived with my dad I did put some weight on and now three years later I have finally realized that I have effectively been on a three year binge due to being able to eat what i want, when i want. But now I know how unhealthy and damaging this is and why I must stop, lose weight and live a happy healthy life. I really hope that joining this site will really help, and I've had some great success stories so I am very excited to begin my journey.
Please feel free to add me so that we can all have the most support we can!!
Thanks.

    I totally understand. I feel like I was back in my teens where I obsessed about my weight when I needed to focus on other things. Still, I notice that when I track food or my weight, I tend to go back to my regular weight. I have weighed the same since high school except when I get on these nerve or relationship stresses. Added weigh is emotional insulation. Get free - in part it is a mindset. The more we think fat the more it takes to lose weight. Tracking food is a way of getting our attention focused on our health. Note how you FEEL after you eat certain foods. Stick with the ones that make you feel good.

    Hi, my name is Kimberlee, 49. I am from Illinois. I know what you mean about the freedom to eat whatever you want. I was raised to eat, eat and eat. I am now watching what I eat due to not being able to really workout very much. I know that you can do this. Feel free to add me.
