My name is Sabrina, & I'm 21 with a 16 month old daughter. I'm a bored/stress eater, but I'm trying to break that habit & I want to lose 30 pounds. I'm looking for other young moms for friends & support! Feel free to add me. :)

    I'm not a "young mom", but I am a mom and would be happy to be a supportive friend. :smile:

    I was a young mom when I had my first at 19. Seven years later I am not as young but still a mom and now with 3 kids (7,4, and 2) lol. But I feel ya. I was also a bored/stress eater until this past July when I began my weight loss journey. I was 241lbs then and today I am 188 (48 more to lose to get to my goal). I want to share my kind of weird trick that helped me to stop stress eating and boredom snacking. If I am bored and want a snack I chew ice, keeps me from eating empty calories and also hydrates. When I am about to stress eat I get a piece of paper out and write down why I want to eat and why I don't think I should. I know that sounds a little crazy but afer 5 months I almost never have to do it anymore. It keeps yourself in check and helps you learn a new habit. Good luck I hope that my craziness helps you!
