An intro. Life long EEer.
*Waving hello*. I'm back after a rather long hiatus. I never made it to 150 last year and reverted to emotional eating pretty much nonstop. :o My anniversary here at MFP is near 4years. My high point was over 300#, I was at 153 when I hit my collision .I hadn't weighed since I bumped to about 157. Yesterday the catalyst…

Anyone else?
Hi, I was doing well here, but my depression is getting worse. Last time I was this low I lived on egg rolls, popcorn, ice cream, and soda. I don't want to do this any more. The people that said they would support me are becoming my biggest hurdles and don't seem to care at all. ⚠TRIGGER ⚠ I'm even thinking about calling…

Very New: Day 5: Thank you for this group!
Wow! We all have our stories as I have mine as to why we retreat to food when feeling.... I'm discovering some uncharted territory this time around by being conscious and mindful about my eating patterns, stress, how my brain and body works regarding cravings and habits. Just in the few minutes I've been on his board, I've…

Help meeeeee
I'm a chef, sugar/food addict, and my thyroid is low functioning. I try so hard to restrict and exercise lots, but I get discouraged at the lack of results and triggered at work...and end up flying off the rails. Also, I'm very isolated with virtually no support or accountability. Worst of all, because I've been struggling…

Just help...
In 2015 I had a handle on it. I had lost 70 lbs. The 2015 reared its ugly head. I lost an Aunt to suicide, have had numerous monetary problems and have been passed up numerous times for a promotion at work. I let bad habits creep back in and gained back 40 of the 70 lbs. I have pulled myself up in the last two days and…

Binge Eating Disorder
Does anyone deal with this disorder? I have since about 17 years old and it's rough. I did not know what it was until recently though. I thought I was just greedy. It's hard and exhausting. I struggle daily with not binging and keeping busy so that I don't spiral out of control. I really need support seeing as how no one…

Weight for protection? Does anyone have suggestions?
This is my 18th day on MFP. After 10 days I weighed and had lost 3 pounds. I have not weighed since. I have been confronted by an old enemy. I thought perhaps this time it would not bother me, but here I am struggling again. I have been told many times that I use excess weight as protection - to keep myself from being…

Hi eveyone! My name is Julianne, and I have been an emotional eater all of my life. My earliest memories are of standing by the sweet table at weddings, and eating until I was about to bust!

Hello - I am new the MFP community and just learned about this group. I am an emotional eater and food addict.

I think I expect ....
to get things from food that it was never meant to give. I notice that I use food to get comfort, detachment. Things like that. Food is just for health, nutrition and keeping my body going. But I try to make food do something else for me. I might even say I expect it to do spiritual things for me, to make me able to be…
