Hi RebeccaT, new as well, and am finding this the best website for motivation and best of, distraction, when I want to eat I just log on! Isn't the internet great?
Same as you, never been taught how to eat, just ate whatever I wanted, then the larger I got, the more depressed I got, and that turned into comfort eating! Sheesh. As a result, I try to teach my boys about treat foods and try not to reward them with food!
I've been wondering if eating can be an addiction like smoking is? With that theory in mind, have been trying to wean myself off overeating by delaying, distracting, and drinking water.
Good luck and good will power! Look forward to seeing you more and watching your weight go down as mine does.
