    Hello! I've been a part of this group for about a month or two now, but I just realized that I haven't introduced myself yet. Thanks @sophrosyne_94 for the bump! :flowerforyou:

    My name is Quana. I quite honestly fall into the compulsive overeating category. No matter what the emotion - happy, sad, excited, angry - they are usually extreme for me and I always turn to food for rewards or pick-me-ups. I'm slowly working on these issues I have, and it's great to know there are people out there like me struggling as well.

    Friend requests are encouraged! Thanks!

    Welcome! Thanks for the intro. Glad to have you here. :flowerforyou: Hope to see more posts coming ! <3

    I used MFP 2 years ago and lost 3 3/4 stone. Due to hospital stays, comfort eating, chronic pain, no exercise, depression & fatigue I put about 3/4 of that back on.
    I'm starting again. I have osteoarthritis in lower back, CFS (waiting diagnosis), a neuromuscular disorder (previously thought to be Myotonia but more tests needed with a muscle specialist despite cold, stress and sudden movements making muscles seize up), Fibromyalgia, Chronic Pain for last 10 years, use a walking stick, hypothyroidism, depression, anxiety, mild agoraphobia & IBS.
    I want to lose weight. Although specialists have told me losing weight won't make my conditions/disabilities go away they say it won't hurt.
    Am I in the right group?
    I have a mostly heathy diet, except when my OH is here and when I comfort eat 4 Cadbury dairy milk chocolate bars(CDM's) in bed before falling asleep.

    Hello, my name is Eirene and I'm an emotional eater. ::waves nervously::

    I'm on a journey to lose the 100 pounds I gained over 8 years. I've also contacted a counselor to help with the stresses that have caused me to gain all of that in the first place. I used to be slender and fit. I can do it again!

    Feel free to add me as a friend. :)

    Hello to everyone who has dropped in recently. It's been a bit of a ghost town. I'm trying to reform my ways and get back in gear again. Hope to see more posts.
