Hello everyone,
This is my first post, and first off, just wanted to say that it's really encouraging to see so many people actively losing weight and staying positive. I'm hoping it will rub off on me.
Here's my question - Where do I start?
I stress eat and bored eat. My job is good for where I am at in life right now but it is definatly aggrevating and I feel like I let little things bothers me much more than I ought to. Most shifts, in the evening, I go over to the candy aisle and I'll pick up a little something and it helps to get me through the shift (or a coffee next door, or an energy drink because I don't sleep enough, etc.). I'm sure this sounds familiar to a lot of people. I don't know how to get through a shift when I'm all antsy and snacky and feel like I *deserve* to go buy a chocolate bar.
I'm at a point in my life where I am starting over for weight loss. I have around 30 lbs to lose, so I feel like I've tricked myself into thinking that it's not *that* bad and I don't have *that* much weight to lose, so I can let it fall to the wayside for a while and ignore the problem. I'm mostly worried that it's going to sneak up on me in a couple years and I will have a serious problem at that point. However, because it isn't as serious (in my mind) I don't feel a lot of motivation to buckle down and lose some weight.
Any advice? People in a similar spot? Any input would be great.
