in Introduce Yourself
After losing a considerable amount of weight, I fell off the wagon and gained it aaaall back.

Not going to weigh myself obsessively, or work out a million kajillion times a week, but I'm tackling different demons:

Binge eating.
Overeating.
Weird hormone imbalance stuff.
A gluten allergy. (totally gluten-free.)
Snacking at night.
Feeling directionless when I'm not planning when I'll eat next.
Eating when I'm lonely.
Eating too much to "celebrate."
Spending too much money on food.

I don't feel like I always fit on this board because I don't have the same "suck it up buttercup" attitude. I'm gentle and I like gentle. I don't judge and don't want judgement. I don't hate my appearance and spend my time obsessively comparing myself to others. I just wanna do ti for me. Only positivity and good vibes over in this corner! I've got a good 70 pounds to lose and I'm going to finish it this time. Add me?? :)

    I have issues with almost all of those things. Especially snacking at night & eating when I'm bored. I almost obsessively compare myself to others, though. I know that's not a good thing, but I can't help it. I feel like I'll be so much happier with myself when I lose weight. Not just being skinny, but being healthy. Not being embarrassed to go on long walks/hikes with people for fear of getting out of breath really fast and having people judge me.

    It feels like at 24 I'm still waiting for my life to start for that reason!!
