Hi I'm new and I need advice

[Punky]

Hi there, my name is Mandy I am 230 pounds and would like to reach 160. I am really struggling. I feel addicted to food. I go to the gym about 3-4 times a week but I can't stop eating. I recently had a baby and I am worried that I won't be able to do the thing sI'd like to with him, because I am too heavy. I am so SICK of thinking about this. I want to lose the weight SO bad but I always fail. any advice??

thank you for your response....I would say that I like absolutely everything that is bad for me! I LOVE eating out. I'm definately addicted to carbs. I've done the Atkins thing and it worked I lost a lot of weight but I slowly felt more and more unhealthy. I think what I need are some healthy thought patterns...change old habits. How do I start a food and excercise diary?
Thanks again!
