Funny (ok, not really)! I was just venting about the exact same thing....I am an absolute emotional eater. I have looked into Overeaters Anonymous and they welcome people who over eat and are overweight. Not just those who binge eat (bulimia). I have not attended a meeting but am giving it serious thought because I can't…

ABSOLUTELY DONE! I lost about 50 pounds 5 years ago and have gained it all back plus some 'friends' (AKA: more pounds)...so I'm back to the basics. Weighing and measuring food, getting in some form of exercise or movement every day. It's tough because I am a total foodie BUT with big life changes on the horizon (planning…

I participated in a Citizens Fire Academy in my city and we had to write down our pant sizes for the fire suits....I was last to sign up and extremely embarrassed to see that I was the largest person on the roster. THEN when the pants arrived, they didn't fit so they had to use STRING to make the waist at least comfortable…

Hello! I understand where you are coming from...I have always been the 'bigger girl' when it comes to my group of friends and my defense mechanism (which you admit may be yours too) is that you just joke about the obvious so others won't feel bad for thinking what you're feeling because chances are no one (unless they are…

My sympathies in your time of sadness....This helped me when we lost our family dog a few years ago. I hope it helps ease your pain. :smile: Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and…

I need support too! The friends I 'made' on here have also not logged in for days and while I have done the same thing....communicating and supporting folks who would actually reply to messages and help me stay motivated would be great. :smile: I have a screen saver that says "That voice in your head telling you you can't…

I'm 37 with approx. 80 pounds to lose...KUDOS to you for getting started!! I'm new to this too and would love to be friends so we can support each other through good times and bad! :smile:

WOW! I'm so glad to hear that someone else feels the way I do a lot of the times....I have tried multiple diets since my college years and lost the weight but gained it back PLUS 'friends' (AKA: extra pounds, LOL). The thing that keeps me trying is i remember I didn't gain it over night so there is NO WAY I can lose it…
