Hey all!

So I was wondering if anyone would be interested in msging me daily to check in with eachother. I'm a recovery compulsive overeater, gained 20 lbs last year, fell in love with fitness this past summer and have been eating pretty clean. School year started up again, I eat great during the week because I plan my meals the night before. Friday night hits and all I want to do is eat! So, I'd love a buddy (preferably young female) who wants accountability and can provide me with accountability! Thanks in advance, shoot me a message/add me as a friend or comment below!

    I would definitely find this helpful for myself too. I have really been struggling lately; the fact that I love to do holiday baking isn't helping. I feel so out of control lately :(

    Hi there! This sounds great and I think it would really help me a lot. I've been struggling recently and the holidays aren't helping!

    I would love some accountability as well! Overeating has always been a struggle, but some life changes this year led me to start binging pretty badly twice a week... which led me to gain 25 very unwanted pounds :( . I'd love to take the weight off, but my first priority is to stop the binging. I'm just sick of feeling bloated, guilty, and out of control. Just a few days without binging make me feel so much better, even if I overeat or don't eat the healthiest of foods. My goal is to make it through January binge-free. Three days down, 28 to go! I've made this promise to myself before, but in the past once I've made it a few days and start feeling better, I start getting ambitious about losing weight, which leads to restricting, which of course leads to more binging. This time I want to avoid the all-or-nothing behavior and stick to my goal, even when I hit the inevitable setbacks. Would love some support and accountability as I try to make it through this month, and would love to be of support to anyone else who struggles with this issue!

    I could use some support too. I fell off the bandwagon pretty hard before the holidays. It was the same cycle, I did good for while, felt great, then slipped a bit and that led to an all out avalanche. I'm on day 2 of eating "normal" and I'm already hungry.
