hi all! Joined the group a little while ago, been lurking but haven't posted in here yet. Little about me, I'm 39, married for 7 years, hoping to control my eating and lose weight to have a baby someday. Ultimate goal is to lose about 130lbs, but I've set my goal right now to lose 10% of my starting weight, then readjust and lose 10% again, etc to work on it in smaller chunks. I've been on MFP consistently for over 3 years, lost 40 in 2012 but gained it all back. Quickly.
The reason I joined this group is because, while I know the proper portions and make the effort to weigh & measure out portions, I tend to get 2nds & 3rds of those "proper" portions before then just sitting down with the rest of the container. I'm an emotional eater, but it's for ALL emotions: sad? eat. Happy? eat. Bored? eat. Stressed? eat. Relieved? eat..... You get the picture.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. Thanks for reading!

You can do this!!!!
I find if I restrict to much then I binge more. So I have mine set to about 1500 Calories.
Also if I'm tired I can't resist it either. So it's important to get enough sleep.
I like your mini goals, that's a great idea.0 -
