in Introduce Yourself
:smile: I have been up and down in weight for years. I was 190-200 all through high school which is around 10-20 lbs over weight for my height, all the way to 340 lbs. I was an athelete, I played basketball in highschool and a couple seasons in college. I also have formed habits of binge eating, not eating for a couple days, and even purging.... It is not healthy and obviously doesn't work to lose weight either. I am ready to be healthy.
I also have a wonderful husband who is in great shape and two toddlers who need their mommy to be acitve. I feel as though I am failing all of them. Especially since my attitude about my weight brings me down on the daily basis. Iamhappy to have found this website I am optimistic about how much it will help.
I know I spilled my guts, but weight loss is an emotional thing. Also, I live in North East Ohio and need support buds!

    I'm from Ohio too, but I've lived in Missouri for several years now. I deal with binge eating myself and it sucks!
