Also, thank you all for taking the time to read my really long post! I usually stalk the boards and when I see the heart breaking questions/posts I just want to cry because I know what it's like to feel so hopeless. You guys are awesome though. I hope we can all help support folks who are in the position that so many of us have been in at one point or another.
The common thoughts and feelings among us overeaters are staggering to me. I always felt like I was a weirdo for the thoughts and behaviors I had. Turns out there are thousands just like me! People in OA, on fitnesspal, and yes, even on Facebook have provided me with the incredible agreement/support I needed.
P.S. - speaking of Facebook - there is a private OA support group ON Facebook! If anyone is interested, it is here. You have to request to join and the posts are entirely private. It's a very respectful place and there's tons of great advice and support on there!

Thank You :flowerforyou:
As an old lady with over 30 years of unsuccessful "dieting" behind me (mostly on my butt). I can't say enough to young (and old) MFPers that this is the ticket. And your rules rock. If only I had this technology 34 years ago I might not be here today. It's such simple physics and it's only when we learn to embrace the "chore" of logging and not "dieting" that it works it really works.0 -
Love it! Thank you!0

I'm pretty sure this is the greatest thing I've read on MFP. I also remember feeling so hopeless. Now, I just want to help others achieve their goals. It's very rewarding. Thank you for sharing0

I loved this post! I was just sitting in bed feeling stressed to the max and wishing I had some chocolate cake and buttery popcorn and then thought to myself... I'm such a pig for thinking that! But I'm an emotional eater and this is a journey that is shared with thousands of others! You really helped keep my spirits up today0
