let's start with the basics;
name: Gabrielle Shannon
age: 20 years
height: it varies between 5 and 5'1
heaviest weight: 223+ pounds
current weight: 209-210 pounds
goal weight: well, i'd like to get down to 150 and go from there...

I enjoy this site very much. It definitely helps to keep me semi on track. I have my faults, but I am doing everything to help myself reach that goal. Problem is, as your typical food addict, I enjoy food all too much... emotional, bored, lack of feeling full, etc. I can't stress how much I let food rule my life. I don't want to do that any more. Besides, I would actually enjoy to look at myself in the mirror and be like, " damn, I look pretty good." haha

I would enjoy some friends and motivation and I would be happy to do so in return :)<3 xo

    First off welcome I'm Brittany, I just turned 19 mid June.. I have found that when I get frustrated, angry, bored, sad, happy, whatever, I try to avoid my kitchen and my families "junk food cabinet" (I have a 14 year old brother who's growing and basically eats all the food in the "junk food cabinet" so I dont have to worry too much about that), but I do find it's super easy to just pop a sugar free tic tac, mint, or gum in my mouth and it stops my need to eat when I'm happy, sad, angry, bored, etc.

    My mom found that putting her least flattering picture of her as her computer screen background, and on her mirror and desk also helped motivate her to lose weight-which I have done also and it has helped, because you see that "icky" photo of urself everyday and go "God I look like that!? definitely should put down that chocolate bar I'm about to eat."

    Or motivational sayings work really good too!
    Again welcome! and the best of luck to you!

    Congrats on deciding to take back control over food! I'm a mega-shorty too - I know how hard it can be. There's just no where for the weight to go on us!
    I'm going to add you. :D

    Edit: I'm 5'1 as well.

    Aww it starts to get easier to get out from under the food once you see what you're eating in calories, carbs and fats. Instead of picking up the cheetos and ice cream(Dont judge my weaknesses LOL) and thinking "oh a couple bites wont hurt" it's kind of in my head now thinking "ok there's a ton of fat in this and if i eat this i'm going to go over calories.. is there anything else i can have so I don't feel guilty for eating" I still get off track but once you see the numbers going down on the scale or even seeing the little definition in your legs it starts motivating you more. I'm 5'3 and curvy...and I love baking and cooking...so I understand what you're going through. Good luck and feel free to add me :D
