Saying Hello...

Hello,

I was told about this site about a week ago by my sister and friend. They joined immediately and started dieting and are doing so wondeful. I love the site so far. I just actually started dieting with them yesterday and I'm happy but still in the hungry phase.

I have major food addiction though. I don't even know why I love food so much but I often eat just for the taste of food and when I'm not even hungry at all. I would just like to get to a point of being normal. Just looking at food as nourishment instead of something to do would be a huge step for me. I can be a closet eater at times. I laugh about it with my sister but truly it isn't funny, its killing me. I have lost both of my parents who were heavy but not big like I am to food related illnesses. I say that but I'm not sure they would have had these issues if they had been thin. (colon cancer and colitis). I hate food and I love it but its time for me to get control of it. My daughter watches everything that I do and I do not want her learning my bad habits so its time to make new ones.

I'm looking to make friends with anybody in any weight loss goal. I have a LOT to lose myself but I can be supportive of anyone in any situation. This is a huge step for us all. I think dieting and losing weight is one of the hardest things I've ever attempted but ooooh that reward of success is gonna feel like Heaven!

Good luck to you all!!!
P.S. My name is Stephanie, Bigmomma is a joke between my daughter and I. I am a Big Momma but I'm in no way making fun of the situation, I'm just a humorous person.
