    It's a struggle no doubt but it will feel great once you overcome them. Good luck with everything!

    Like a phoenix, you will rise from ashes of your former life, and build a better one cause you will have eliminated all the steps that got you there. It's so wonderful to have a 2nd chance. Be bold.

    I've used MFP on and off sporadically, obviously with little results.
    For my health and happiness, lowering this 31 BMI is important.

    Can't wait to hear from you

    THIS!!! This is my 1000000000%, even down to the BMI!!!! Only difference is, I have not been divorced... engaged, instead and about to get married in spring. But in any case, I'd love to be friends and could use the support myself. I went through a VERY bad case of depression last year and am finally getting better but struggling to lose the weight I gained from medicines and the lack of movement. I definitely need the support myself through these holidays, especially for this being my first holiday out of the Navy after more than a decade! So I really prefer not to gain that "Veteran Weight" :( Add me! :)

    While I'm not divorced, the depression is seasonal, and the over eating has been curbed (well more I just run far enough now that it isn't a problem most days) I can help motivate and cheer you on. I can also help with any questions you might have (or point you towards someone who can) and share recipes (lots of good filling healthy ones).

    Add me if you want.

    This running thing...I hear it's good for you :-) Ha! Thanks so much for the encouragement. I look forward to the support!

    Not divorced but just got out of a bad relationship where I gained 30#. He refused to eat healthy and I got into some very bad habits being with him. I now have no excuse and want to start living for me again and I'm happy to start my journey. I would love to have a bud for encouragement to keep me real and out of the dumps as well!

    Been there , and the over eating and depression can happen even with a man in your life . But feeling lonley makes it hard to think positive .
    I am down 37 lbs I credit this site for helping me to stay on track . my best advice , come here every day , and log your foods , make some friends here so you have connections ( I find it really helps ) have 25 grams or more fiber every day , ( I make a high fiber smoothie to sip through the day ) the fiber keeps you slightly full so you are less prone to emotional binge eating. try to plan you meals in your head ( or on paper ) so you will get the foods that will help you be in control ready in the cupboard , fridge and freezer . Think ahead what healthy low cal foods do you like , make sure they are in the house . what unhealthy foods are you likely to binge on? make sure they are not in the house . You can do this , you already took a step, you came in and said hey I need help ! even if the help you need is just to not feel alone , we are here ,

    I am just starting the journey you have been on. I have been on MFP for awhile now and slowly losing the weight. However, I am now just going through the divorce process. Trying to not let it derail my progress.

    Good luck on your journey, try to get into habit of logging regulary it helps even though it is hard to do. Feel free to add me if you wish.
