@denisemarielarnder - Thanks for sharing your experience and for the encouragement I need to seek out new friends. I'm glad breaking up with the Dutch girl lightened the load she put upon your shoulders. @Moxie42 - Thanks to you as well, for sharing your story. It's nice to know that I'm not alone in my experience and that…

I'm starting the challenge late (binged the first 3 days of the month), but better late than never! Me: 1 The Binge: 3

Those are all great points, KnitorMiss. Thanks for the encouragement!!

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I've phased out friends who were unhealthy for me before, but this one is going to be a bit more difficult to handle. *sigh* I'm a brute for punishment, but I do have a breaking point and it's going to snap soon. :)

Thanks, SC. I've also realized that by eliminating this person from my life or drastically decreasing the time we spend together, I may force myself out to events or places where I can meet other people. That would be a really positive thing for me. :)

Thanks, KnitOrMiss. I have indeed done quite a bit of self-exploration in regards to this particular person. I really ONLY spend time with him because all my other friends are married with kids, and very busy with their family life, so he's all I have left for a social life.

Hi Everyone! I got really depressed when I turned 40 and gained 50 lbs. I'm 43 now and am finally accepting this decade and am making my comeback. I've been losing and regaining the same 15 lbs of the 45 I want to lose, so it's time for some motivation and support. Add me and I may add you as well. Let's achieve our goals…

Me too! I've been losing and regaining the first 15 lbs of the 50 I set out to lose. I have about 30 left to go. It's time for some motivation and support. Add me!

Hi Everyone! I'm 43 and gained my excess weight when I turned 40 and got really depressed about entering the decade we're in. I'm much better than I was and am making my comeback! I've got another 20-30 lbs to lose and need friends for encouragement and motivation. Please add me and best of luck to all!

I second getting professional help. I did 6 months of therapy for binge eating disorder and it helps tremendously. Every day is still a struggle, but I'm MUCH better off than I was before it. Good luck!

You're not alone! I spent all of 2015 in therapy and have been relapsing the last two weeks; today I called a therapist to say I needed help again. Make a short list you can carry around in your wallet or pull up on your phone, of the crappy emotions you're feeling now. In future, when you want to binge, maybe taking a…
