in Introduce Yourself
Hi fellow fitness people! I'm Jessica I'm 28 ( soon to be 29) and I'm sick of looking back at pictures from 2 or3 years ago when I was depressed but looking good at 140 lbs. I'm a happy eater, a sad eater, I eat out of Borden...the list goes on...the only time I can't seem to eat is when I'm at the end of my rope which luckily isn't very often : ) My manager at work told me about this app...she has inspired me! I will be much more AWARE and feel a lot more accountable now everytime I feed my face! I have two amazing children who keep me on my toes and in my spare time which is every other weekend I love to sleep, clean, shop, read, tan, and be social oh and work.

    Hey Jessica,

    We sound similar in the reasons why we eat!

    Hi Jessica!
    Sounds like we are in the same boat. I'm 28, 29 in September. I'm sick of looking at pics from months ago and not recognizing who I am. I don't feel like I'm in such a big body, yet here I am. MFP app has definitely helped, and after 8 weeks I've lost 9 pounds.
    Recognizing you are an emotional eater is the hugest step in my eyes. Now you know you are an emotional eater - time to fix it!

    What I've been doing:
    While at home: every time I went to eat something that wasn't part of my meals/snacks - I literally found something else to do. Read a book, go on a walk, do anything else. Play a game with your kids, just anything not to eat.
    Celebrating: We used to celebrate everything through food. Now, I take the money I would have spent and put it aside in my exercise fund. New shoes, new shorts, it's all going to last longer than 1 meal.

    Welcome again to MFP, and feel free to add me!

    Hello Jessica and everyone else,

    I am new here too. Just started a week ago, but already lost 2 lbs - yay! I am 30-yr-old mom of one and I eat when I'm bored, stressed, happy, sad. It's gotten a bit out of control. But I am excited to get back to being healthy.

    Looking for friends in my demographic. Add me if you'd like :)
