Hi all, I'm new here.

I'm 30 years old and overweight by about 85lbs. I have always been overweight in my life. I am addicted to food in general. I just can't seem to stop eating. When I'm stressed I eat, when I'm depressed I eat, when I'm bored I eat. I'm depressed most of the time because of my weight. Its a never ending cycle.

I'm 6 feet tall and 285lbs right now. This is the heaviest I've ever been. I'm sick of being overweight and I want to loose all this weight. I want to get to 199 lbs before this year ends. I know that's a tall order but I'm determined.

I've lost and regained weight my whole life but this time, but hopefully this time will be different. The lowest I've ever been in my life was 4 years ago when I was 215 lbs. I feel like such an idiot for gaining it all back and then some.
 
Hi Blue -- you're in good company here.. and you'll find lots of support here... COngratulations on taking the first step... :)

Don't feel like an idiot... you don't deserve it :) Your smart for coming to us, we can help! Alot of us have been where you are.. and are going through the same struggle. Emotional eating is common.. I still struggle a bit not to do it.. mainly when bored or lonely. But ti does get easier :) Welcome Welcome!
 
Welcome to the forum! There are lots of supportive people here! :D There are a couple of threads under clubs that you may be interested in. One is "heading for and reaching the 100s" and the other is the "200 plus club." I would recommend that you start a diary so you can keep track of what you are eating and so that we have a place to get to know you and provide support. Come on here and post to keep your mind off of snacking when you aren't hungry! :D
 
Hi, blue13! Welcome! That circle you mentioned has been my emotional eating pattern practically my whole life, so I know what you're talking about. Come join us in the club section. We're here for you! Good luck! You can do it!
