Hi everyone. Mom of 2 from Canada here. Back at MFP again..... My battle is emotional/stress eating. My diary is not open at this point as I can't handle nit picking 
One day perhaps....
Would love some fun-loving friends..... So please send me a friend request if you fit the bill.

Welcome back. My dairy is open, people can nit-pick all they want, I don't care! That snickers bar? Hell yes I ate it! And I ran an extra mile too! I'm not really that fun, kinda crotchety and all. But I'm on here all the time.0

LOL - crotchety is fine with me - I can be that way also.0

Hi Erin! I'm a fellow emotional and stress eater too! That's how I gained 10 lbs recently within a few months! But now I'm trying to get on the right track by just cutting down portions & not denying myself anything! I am also a mom of 2... but from NJ & also just want to have some friends & support on MFP.
PS... I get the no nit picking stuff... that's why I never went back to Weight Watchers... got yelled at by a bunch of members over my dilemma of wanting to serve "regular" food vs diet food at a dinner party. Nice "support"! Lol!
You can friend me if you want!0 -
Canadian here too! I'm a 43 year old mom of 2 and I'm trying to get on track. I'm really struggling right now and would love some encouragement. I'd like to lose 35 pounds but that seems so far away.0

Seriously? They gave you grief for wanting to serve regular food for your guests? How silly!!!
I'm almost 45 & have always struggled. Right now I am in a rut trying to work my way back to better habits. Wish you the best of luck!!0 -
I am back after a break from site. I did lose five more pounds while I was out and gained some strength, but not nearly what my goal was that I set on the site. I do stress and emotional eating, but I have found I have also done boredom eating so like loose ends, open the fridge and munch on something when I was not hungry. So I stopped doing that. When I am stressed, emotional, bored or loose end I do something healthy for myself instead. I have found I get a rush from sugar and fructose corn syrup. I went to extreme eating just meat and vegetables, and ended up with some b vitamin deficiencies so I am learning my diet must include everything and just balance it and use portion control, and that I lose weight and have better glucose balance by eating more than I use to. I have type 2 diabetes so sugar was controlled a long time by diet alone but recently that was not enough. I am focusing my exercise and fitness goals on performance goals like lowering my blood glucose averages while increasing strength and oxygen production. Before an injury I use to walk 7-10 miles a day, use the treadmill for sixty minutes every morning, do strength training, lots of activities and hiking and was losing weight. After injury I had to change how I was working out or periods where I felt I could not work out do to pain or lack of mobility. I still weigh less than I did so weight loss has been slow going. I do have a gym membership and was doing that up to three days then was hospitalized because I lost oxygen and could not breathe, so my working out is on hold while I see a cardiologist to see if it is related to my heart and make sure my body can do ok with stress of working out. I am still doing low key exercise like swimming today, increasing the length of my walking, and gardening. I am trying to focus on eating healthy and increasing activity level safely.0
