My name is Ashlee and I am 30 years old from Dallas, Texas. I am a food addict. I hope there are others out there who have to manage this as well. Sometimes when I tell people that they look at me like I have just told them something funny. They don't understand that food is my drug of choice. That I binge when I am alone. I eat thinking about what I'm going to eat next. I wake up and go to sleep thinking about food. My whole day consists of food, what and when I will eat, what can I binge on while no one is looking, will they notice I am on my third plate of food? One day I woke up and decided enough was enough. My new addiction was going to be working out and eating healthy. Don't get me wrong, every day is still a struggle. Every single second is a struggle. I have my bad days (yesterday was a prime example: I'm a stress eater and it was a hard day at work so I made several unhealthy decisions) but I'm proud to say that in all, I have lost 30 pounds. I still have 50-60 pounds to go but I'm getting there one step at a time. I started using this app way after I started my weight loss journey but I found that journaling my food makes me more accountable. I'm hoping to make some friends along the way!

Keep up all the hard work! Chin up, buttercup!

    I've been struggling with binging for as long as I can remember as well. I'll send you a friend request so that we can support each other.

    Feel free to add me. I am an emotional eater. I had a rough start to my week this week (all is better now) and I was all ready to emotionally eat but I was able to stop myself.
