Overeating, binging, and just plain depressed...
Hi all! I was going through some of the posts and reading problems and advice of others, and thought maybe I ought to give this a try... I've been on MFP for many, many years. I've had good streaks but typically they are a day or two. I've struggled with my weight for 15 years or so and about 3 years ago I was days away…
