hi everyone my name is missy. I would like to lose 25 pounds yet to reach my goal. Although I am struggling so hard. My worst thing is I am a stress eater. so that doesn't help. I just know I want to be the size I used to be and the more I allow my self to put on the pounds the worst i feel.

Please anyone feel free to add me if you would like. I love having support and I can also give support. it is kind of funny because the support i give out is great but I never seem to listen to my own words....gggrr it drives me bonkers lol

thanks everyone. take care
missy

    I'm an emotional eater too! I hate that stress or how your feeling affects what you eat. I've been doing MFP since the 1st of January and I have lost 20 pounds of my 100 lb goal. I am aiming towards WLS, but at this rate I'm doing good on my own, but I KNOW things will change and I will probably get stressed, so I need all the support from fellow members too. Please add me if you need support.

    fabulousby45, Keep up the great work! 20 pound loss is wonderful!
    I had the WLS. I did lose 160 pounds but now I have put on about 30 and want to work hard at getting it back off. It is weird how you mind can play a huge rule in your diet. I am a horrible stress eater and I know I had the WLS but I am 3 years out so I can eat more than alot of people think, all depending on the food I pick. So if I am stressing and I turn to food, of course I pick something that is can binge on that will allow me not to hurt after I am done eating it. It is very frustrating and I would love to have all the support I can get and I am here for anyone that needs me also. Believe me I know the struggles and challenges we all go through to get threw a day being good with eating and exercising. Thank you for your post back...

    take care
    missy

    Hey! I'd love to be some support for you. I'm (almost) 28 and I've literally struggled with my weight my entire life. By 12 I was labeled "obese" by my doctor. Such a great confidence boost to a kid trying to figure out where she belongs in the world. However, 15 years later, I'm a much smaller version of my former self and it's been a struggle. I love to help where I can. I find motivation in keeping others motivated and seeing them succeed. Add me to your friends and we'll keep each other going :)

    I'm new here and I want to say, "Hi to everyone working to lose weight." I would like to make new friends to keep me motivated, and to help them do the same.
