    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.
