Hi everyone! I am new to this, and so my first few food entries are terrible! But I figure I need to be honest with my self so I can see what I am really doing to my body! I have battled with weight my entire life, because I am an emotional eater. It all began when I was a very young girl, age 4, and my family's little financial security was demolished. I watched my family eat to hide our feelings, and so I did what everyone else did, EAT. Now as I am older I have completely ruined my body, and at the age of 28 I have numerous health problems I have to deal with everyday. My husband and I have been married 7 years, and we are very eager to start our family.

I have 3 major issues going against us right now that has hindered us from pregnancy for the past 2 years: polycystic ovary disorder, endometriosis, and being extremely obese. Yes I finally said it out loud....I am MORBIDLY OBESE! (there's a first time for everything). My dear best friend helped me realize that I have 3 things going against me when it comes to pregnancy, and two of them I can't control. The one thing I CAN CONTROL is my weight! I have to! There is no way I can continue living like this! I need all the help I can get, and if anyone is in the Lubbock, TX area and needs a work out buddy let me know! I need someone to motivate me to the core, and not let me give up! I can't afford to give up!

I am super excited about tracking my progress and sharing my success story with all to see!

    Well, good luck to ya! I just recently started...last week I believe. I found this site in my quest for some online help, and I'm so glad I did. Lots of nice people, and lots of support. And it's free. You can't go wrong. I also am an emotional eater and that's how I got where I'm at today. Right now, when I'm stressed about something, instead of picking up that bag of chips, I try to write down my feelings in a journal. I just started doing this, but I'm starting to feel more in power of my urges. It's hard tho', but I'm so proud of myself when I succeed at something. :smile: So....welcome!
