I know that feeling all too well. I've been fat since I was a little kid, I've never ever known what it feels like to be a 'normal' weight. Food has been my comfort, my best friend, my intimate relationship. I am working very hard to overcome that and for the most part I'm in a positive place with it - happy to support you (or anyone in this group) in your efforts!

feel free to add my as a friend on this very hard journey to make on our own!! I have struggled with weight issues all my life, starting as a teenager; just over past 2 years have i come to realize how much food i consume for comfort and emotional well-being.... are you in same boat?? I am always looking for support too! (*)

I've been on a binge/emotional eating for almost a month now and it's so difficult because only I can stop it but yet I feel like I'm on my own and I feel so out of control. I know I need to snap out of it. Every meal is a struggle I've just ate supplement drinks before because I was afraid to eat at times but then that didn't work out as a long term solution. I know this is just an emotional issue I'm going to have to get in touch with to stop this cycle. I wish the other people in my household didn't buy so much snack food so I wouldn't be so tempted all the time that's part of what's contributing to my eating is the addictive foods that are anything but healthy. I really could use some support. I did like the tips I read that might help in the mean time. Taking this bite by bite at the moment.

Add me and I'll add all of you.I came to the realization about five years ago that I have a very serious emotional eating problem when I realized I had finished off a half a pound bag of peanut M&Ms in one sitting. I joined OA and that has really been helping me a lot but for some reason I'm just not going back to the meetings or working my program. I really need support because A lot of my bad habits have already been broken as far as the kinds of foods that I eat, but I'm still an emotional eater particularly with binges at night.i'm going to be logging my food, everything I eat, and check these post every night for more conversation and help and insight. I know that one of the ways that I can help myself is by helping others, and so I am humbly asking that I be of service somehow to all of you.

Add me! I am really trying my best to overcome my emotional eating. I am a sneak eater... I eat when I think no one is looking. I remember waiting until everyone in the house would go to bed and raid the kitchen when I was younger. I hated the judgement I thought people had when I would eat... I love fitness and working out, but I let my emotional eating getting in the way of becoming a fit person. I need all the support and encouragement I can get and I love to encourage my friends as well!

I was blessed with a super supportive and loving family! They never shamed me or judged me either... I have no idea where the thought that anyone was judging me even came from... Weird! Yes, hoping that the support and community here will help keep me going in the right direction! We can do it!

So another typical day for me, decided what I was going to eat, did fine until night, found out my husband was coming home (unexpectedly as usual) and started eating off plan. I didn't over eat, but I did eat food I have decided I shouldn't have. I also took in more calories than I'm supposed to have, which is overeating, right? I know to pick myself up and keep working towards commitment. Commitment to a reasonable food plan, excercise and recognizing when I'm in a trigger situation, like the husband situation. Thank you, Higher Power, for today and I hope I will have another chance tomorrow.

Please add me. Feel the same.

I'm right there with you girl. Feel free to add me as well, any of you. I think the more people we have to support us and talk us out of these bad choices we've been making, the better our chances of success.

Add me. Today was a horrible weigh in. I am back at it today. I am very angry with myself.
