Not so new to mfp, but looking to connect with the community.

Hi, I am not exactly new to mfp, I've been using it for some time, but I think it's time that I stop isolating myself and get involved in the community. I just feel like I need more support to stay on track with my weight loss goals. I have struggled to change my lifestyle in the long-term, partly because I use food as a substitute for so many things in my life; also, I am a hardcore stress eater and have issues with self-worth. I am working very hard to change some of the underlying emotional issues, but I also have to focus on actually making changes to my diet and making exercise a part of my life. I am morbidly obese at 416 pounds, and could use any support/advice that some of the more experienced among you could provide, or for new people just another person to be in the same boat with. I want to start this weight loss journey and make it stick this time. Sorry if this all seems weirdly personal, I'm just at a point where I need to be honest with myself and hold my self accountable by putting myself in a pretty public domain.
