in Introduce Yourself
Hi, i'm Emma, i live in Kent, and this year as i turn 30, i have decided to to take life by the short and curlies and do something to improve it! I can't bear the pain in my hips and knees when i walk, or being out of breath just doing the housework. And the thought of leaving my children in this world on their own because i have died of heart failure is enough!
I have a very unhealthy relationship with food, i eat for every emotion there is going, boredom, stress, sadness, happiness, and seem to have excuses for everything! I hate the feeling of hunger, and when i'm on a 'diet' i talk myself out of it with the thought that i am depriving myself of any enjoyment. Now i am realising that there is more to life than just food! And that there are things out there that i can enjoy that doesn't involve eating. I just hope that this time, i can find it in myself to carry on, for my sake and my children.

    You can do it. I was thinking like you because I love food. Period. But since I've started this, I've found new things that are healthy that I love. I love cooking so I'm always delighted when I make something up and it tastes great and is yummy too!

    Hey Emma and welcome :smile:

    My goal is close to yours, we can both do it!! Take it 1 week at a time, set yourself some mini goals and it will happen!

    Don't see it as a "diet", more as a lifestyle change :wink:

    Good Luck,

    Ben.
