in Introduce Yourself
I'm a 24 year old female from NY I have a good 160 or so pounds to lose. I moved six hours away from family and friends to live with my SO. He is currently the only support I have and would love new friends close or far away! Things are about to get really crazy in our lives, so learning how to not be an emotional eater is going to be hard, but worth it. I'm really not sure what else to say. Lol. Feel free to add me :)

    Hey, I added you as well, looking for some motivation for the MFP, "one day at a time" is so perfectly true, don't give up!

    I would just say this. Learn the things that trigger your bad eating and then either eliminate them from your life or if they are specific foods, keep them away from your house and don't go to restaurants where they are served.

    That's been serving me well the past few months. Good luck.

    I'm 24 too! I added you as well.

    I had been off and on here for a year or two, and then I started letting that little "LaurenRosePR has logged in for __ days in a row!" status become my inspiration. Just logging on here made me log food more and become more aware of how I was treating my body. Today was day 45. =] The supportive friends help, too!


    Also- one of the best lessons I learned was to not workout and eat right just to see pounds come off. Don't let physical appearance rule your fitness goals because you'll feel happy after a while and slack off... and start the cycles of going and then not going for a while. Make your goals tangible every day: "I want more energy" was one of mine. It definitely helps.

    I'm here to support anyone who needs it- we're all working towards a wonderful, common goal!

    Added you :)

    I've been an emotional eater too. MFP has helped me a lot to think about food in a different way and the support is amazing. Good luck on your journey!
