in Introduce Yourself
Hi guys! I just joined myfitnesspal a few days ago. I lost twenty pounds by eating less and moving more from April to June. Since June I've been stuck at the same weight, but I still have another 10-15 pounds to go. In hopes of breaking this plateau, I joined this website. I have problems with overeating (I overate tonight :( ) that I'm still struggling to deal with. I am an emotional eater, a boredom eater, and an I-have-homework-to-do-so-I'll-eat procrastinator. I generally eat healthily, but even then it's so easy to overeat and go overboard with the calories. I tend to eat better when I don't have "moderate"/little pieces of treats because they just make me crave and crave until I finish the entire package.

Having a calorie counter will make me accountable and make me think about overeating and hopefully, help me stop before I even start. I'm also working out more -- I really want to get into yoga and running. I start college on Sunday and I want the freshman 15 to be a NEGATIVE. :)

    Hi Chicago, Congrats on beginning a new step in your life. I too am a boredom eater. I have to make everyday goals and strive to do my best. I feel better in the mornings if I didn't eat too much after supper and I find I also sleep better. A friend told me that her son just tells himself that when I eat sugar it doesn't make me feel good about myself, so he just stays away from it. I love dark chocolate and I do like the sweets, but I battle with sugar everyday, so not quite sure how I can give you advice when I am struggling myself. Maybe we can help each other.
