Hi all! Here's my story, the abridged version

I've struggled with weight and eatting for what feels like my entire life. My weight and the sizes in my closet have seen all ends of the spectrum...from size 2's (very short stint there) to size 14's and 16's (a longer stint that I would have liked). The past 2 years I was able to slowly lose about 40 pounds through healthy eatting habits and exercizing regularly...I actually trained for a 10K and completed it...huge accomplishment just with that!

I had finally got to a comfortable weight for myself around October 08 and then I fell into a major depression...and was stuck inside my house not working and eatting a lot of junk. In a mere 3 months I undid all my hard work. It's amazing how quickly the weight will go right back on when you let it all go and don't care. I put on about 30 pounds of the original 40 i lost.

I've gotten myself in a better place emotionally and am ready to tackle this weight loss, get my confidance back and more importantly-my life back.

I have come to realize while tracking my food intake that my biggest struggle has been and continues to be binge eatting. I love to eat and use food to fill all types of emotions-happiness, saddness, boredom, etc. However, when I do it on healthier food, it's not quite as damaging of course.

I thrive on positive energy and support and love being that for others, but sometimes struggle with it for myself. You know what they say-you are your own worst enemy. What I am looking for on this site is support from others going through the same struggles I am and I hope I can be that for some people as well. Feel free to friend me.
