in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone! I found this site by searching "curb late night hunger" and browsing through that thread, I knew it would be a great idea to join up and get some support and help for my weight loss!

I'm 23 years old, barely 5'3" and I weight 165 lbs. I'm at my heaviest and I have the stretch marks to prove it.
In high school and would never eat, and if I did, I threw it up. My lowest was 108. Thankfully I ditched the ex who contributed to that behavior and I have allowed myself to eat.

Problem is, I went from being stressed and no appetite, to eating everything in sight if I'm upset...or bored...or, whatever.

I've been working on it, and I finally just got a new job which will help with my activity and when I can afford it I hope to renew my gym membership.

A little about me; I consider myself a gamer. PC and Xbox 360 mostly. I place everything from RPGs to FPS.
I'm a fanatical reader and easily spend hours on it.
I'm a nerd and quite obsessed with things like Harry Potter and Star Wars.

There's a lot to cover about me, and if you want to know anything, just PM me. =) Just wanted to say hi and I'm glad I found this website! I think it's going to really help me achieve my goal.

    Hello fellow Newbie! =) I am so excited. This seems far more organized than other sites I have tried in the past. Plus the forums are fantastic motivators for me.

    May we both reach our goals! =)

    Thanks guys! I'm always here for support if you need it as well =)

    Seriously this site makes it seem doable, and not quite as daunting. It makes you focus on the day by day, not all of it at once.

    Fellow nerds! Yay! ^_^ I'm trying so hard not to eat before bed...but I'm so hungry. Gonna try some hot tea methinks. Or popcorn.
    Of course if I could just fall asleep that'd be super as well haha.
