Hi! I myself am new to MFP. I really love it and find it very inspirational with all of the success stories. I have been an emotional eater all my life. I finally lost the weight I wanted to and kept it off for about 8 years and then found out I was pregnant and 4 weeks later found out I had leukemia. I had a bone marrow transplant in March of 2011. I am happy to say I am 2 years in remission and have a wonderful healthy son. I now have chronic kidney disease from being on some anti rejection medicine to long. I am trying to eat as healthy as possible, but have to watch because I am not supposed to eat a lot of the healthy things I like because of my kidneys. I would like to meet new friends for support and give support as well.

I find that emotional eating is the worst disease to have because you have to eat to survive. I love food and I love to cook and bake. I have really been trying to focus on other things or logging onto MFP success stories when I feel like eating. Having a 3 year old can sometimes be very stressful and I find myself wanting to go for things I should not have several times a day. You need to remember that you have to do this for you and that you are worth it. Hope I can motivate and help you.
