in Introduce Yourself
Hello my name is McKenna :) I have struggled with self esteem and my weight fluctuating for years now. I am currently laying on my couch, eating Halloween candy because I'm pathetic. I need to get healthy again and start getting back into running, Ii actually used to be on this website for quite some time and lost 15 lbs but then I gave up on myself and gained it all back ;( which is why I have rejoined in order to reinvent myself in a way. I like running and I know how to eat healthy, I just need to now have more self control and actually do it! This familiar feeling of the "after binge guilt" has negatively affected me and has basically caused me to hate myself. Which is why I need to learn how to love myself again and how to stop my emotional eating, Please friend me!!!!!

    you're not pathetic!! emotional eating is an extremely difficult thing to stop, and no matter how long you are able to not do it, you still want to and at some point you will probably "relapse"...atleast i have and i know i'm not alone on that. On the bright side you are aware of this and now you can learn how to curb it! Good for you!! :) Good luck!

    Chocolate is so yummy.

    Thank you for this post I just gave up candy bars and cookies on Saturday, I too was feeling pathetic. I gave up the candy and cookies BC I can't eat them in moderation just one leads me to sugar binge. I started on Saturday and purchased a slice of peach pie on Tuesday that made me feel like crap I forgave myself and that was a first. I am taking it one day at a time if I fall I know I will get back up I;m taking out one negative food and take in a one good habit (no candy or cookies) drinking 10 cups of water a day. I too needed this lift.
