Hi Everyone,
So here's a quick recap of my story.... Graduated high school after being a jock my whole life, gained a bit of weight (30 pounds), finally realized I had to change my diet without sports, lost 40 pounds, was in best shape of my life (profile picture), was introduced to the concept of a "cheat day", weekly cheat day turned into a huge binging problem, gained about 20 pounds back, now back to about 185, which is only 5 pounds above my approximate goal weight.
I really did have a huge problem with binging, I would try to justify it, but I knew I was really hurting myself... If you're reading this you probably know what I mean.
I would love to find some friends who are there to support me (it's been almost 3 weeks since my last binge, and even that was a minor one).
Feel free to add me for support!!

Just have to say that if you've made it 3 weeks without binging you did GREAT during the holiday season! That's so super! Congrats!! Keep up the awesome work!0
