Hi I'm 41 years old. I'm a stayed at home mom and a wife. I need to lose around 30 lbs. When I get stressed I binge. I need some pals to help me stay on track. Thanks in advance.

    Are you getting a good balance of fat and protein in your diet? They are a lot more satiating than carbohydrates, which is what people tend to binge on. Protein and fats should help fill you up a lot quicker. Failing that, if you're stressed and wanting to eat, why not to for a walk first to chill out and see if you're still wanting food? This helps a lot of my clients out

    Same here, 30 lousy pounds and cant seem to get it off and keep it off. Some people have over 100 pounds to lose and have more motivation than me.

    I am studying for the bar exam and stress eating is hard for me too. Anyone is free to add me. I am on every day :)

    I'm going to add you. I'm an emotional/stress eater too, and I'm looking for support to change those patterns. I'm 32, 5'6" SW was 225, CW is 215, and my goal is 140-150.
