I'm a 24-year-old woman and I've struggled with emotional eating since I was a young teenager. I'm prone to anxiety and depression, and I find that my willpower to control myself around food completely evaporates when I'm feeling badly about myself. I have a hard time reaching out to people, and I find myself turning to food for comfort instead. Then I feel so much shame and embarrassment that I want to eat more and more and more... it's a vicious cycle, and it certainly makes weight loss hard!

I'm posting here because I would really, really like to meet some people who have struggled with food in the same way that I have (or in a different way). I could use a support group, and friends, and I would love to hear other people's stories. Thanks for reading. :waving:
 
Welcome to the forum! Head on over to the diary section. Lots of good weight loss stories there...And you can start your own. :)
 
Most of us have struggled with food and can relate to what you're saying. Be yourself, love who you are. None of us are without our own faults. Your willpower may evaporate because of how you go about it. I can't say since I don't know you, just a guess. But believe me, I am doing this, and if I can, ANYONE can and so can you. I want to see you get over this hump and on to better things. We're all here for you and like jen_renee said, the diary section is excellent. Let's get a plan together and get you where you want to be, friend. Welcome to the forum.
