emotional eater

Hi guys! This is my first time in a long time joining a health forum. I have gained a lot of weight recently. I was big from a few years back also but the weight just piled on recently. I just want to be healthy as a first step. I used to be very slim and now people treat my differently. Though it is annoying/heartbreaking, it is fascinating. I guess there are some Conditionals out there, folks who will treat you nicely on condition that you look a certain way. But the thing that really made me snap into action was a woman determining that i am either diabetic or pre diabetic in such a sure manner even if she has no idea really. I want to get back in shape and not feel pain going up and down my stairs. I am 5'9 and around 250 pounds. My goal is 150.

I have been using the app and I notice I eat a lot of carbs and fat. I love MFP. Thanks!
