  • Thank you! I really appreciate this whole experiment. I never thought I'd be brave enough to post a pic like this (and I know I'm not the only one) and hearing how others perceive my body, since it really does differ from the way I feel about myself!

  • Hi hun, I agree - this sounds to me like something triggered by stress. Are you in school? I remember in my last year of university I put a lot of pressure on myself to finish my degree, to the point where i was not only binge eating, but having nightmares daily. If stress has been your trigger, it's important to figure…
  • I hear ya! I'm up to 180 from four years ago since my move overseas. Good on you for taking charge - it's hard when you're in a new place and surrounded by new things. Hopefully, with the support of our new community, we can both take charge and unpack those extra pounds!
