Welcome to MFP! It is a great site and can be very helpful. It keeps you responsible for the calories that you eat. Good luck and let me know if you need any encouragement on your journey!

i try not to eat after 7 or 8pm, so you have to try and get all your calories in during the day. try to eat about 5 times a day. I do a small breakfast, then lunch, a snack, dinner and a snack around 7pm :) Good luck and welcome to MFP!

great job! keep it up

Welcome to MFP! It is a great tool for helping you to stay accountable for what you eat. I was on here before and lost weight...then I quit and gained even more weight back! But I am back and ready to do it again. Good luck and get connected with people, that helps too :)

Your determination is awesome!! Keep up the good work...us beginners need to see success stories to stay motivated and to see that hard work really does pay off.

Thank you for the post! I really hope that this is finally the motivation that I need to make a change. Thanks for the advice :smile:

Hi Ashlie I dont have a solution for you, but I do feel the same way. I dont really refer to it as "addicted to eating" but I consider it "emotional eating". This isn't just when you are sad but for any emotion. Eating when you are happy, bored, upset, etc. I think the best way to control it is to stop and think about how…
