Wanting some friends that are in the same place as me in their journey or similar. I’ve lost weight before (not much) and I was on the right track to being healthy but then my parent separated twice and it sent me into an emotional eating spiral that I haven’t been able to get out of. That was about 1.5 years ago. I’m starting over again because I gained all the weight I lost back and then some and just feel generally bad about myself and how I’ve been treating my body. Looking for friends who may also have delat with emotional eating to encourage me and for me to be a support system for them as well. Wanting to treat by body right and actually get the job done this time. I just turned 27 and want to start living life rather than hiding from it.

    Girl I’m an emotional eater too! I started packing on the pounds after my first born. He had a surprise Down syndrome and cardiac defect diagnosis at birth. Ended up being the best thing to ever happen to me but sent me into the pattern I’m stuck in now of taking care of everyone else except for myself. I’m 32 right now and I need to get healthier ASAP! I’m looking to lose at least 70 lbs. I know our emotional problems are different but I am still totally an emotional eater. Let’s help each other not eat our feelings, lol! Add me as a friend!

    @ranchmomboss added you! Your first born having Down Syndrome sounds super stressful! Downs kids are so sweet :) I'm looking to lose almost 70lbs as well!
