Thank you all for letting me know that it's more "common" than I think. I felt alone. I felt like a failure. I still struggle .. (sigh). MFP though has opened my eyes to a few things that I know I have to really take control of. I hope to be fairly active on this site. Thanks for having me!

Yes, I am currently in therapy twice monthly for the ED :smile: It's slow going, but it's a work in progress. It's hard to not get discouraged when you constantly see people online, on here, on Facebook who have lost 100+ pounds on whatever program and are sticking to it. I have such a hard time with follow-through…

That's my thing too .. I was always hungry trying to only eat the 3 meals per day .. I mean who can live on 800 calories (or less) daily?? The snacking thing has really been brought to light since I've been on MFP. I can see that's where I add a lot of calories.

100 pounds is awesome!! 140 pounds in 6 months...we all know that's not healthy. I didn't even make it to 100 pounds lost before things slowed down and I gained, so kudos to you!

I don't know why that listed itself as a "challenge." How do I change that?

You sound just like me!!! I make excuses about exercising .. have joined gyms and never gone .. I work from home FT and can walk whenever but I don't! I eat the carbs .. it's really frustrating. I did start therapy but I am only three sessions in, so not a lot of progress as of yet. Let's connect on here and Facebook (if…
