Sooooo, I've never done anything like this before, as far as blogs and forums.


ANYWAYS, Ahahaha, I'm Shelly and I'm 22. A year ago I started watching what I eat and working out. I've lost about 160 pounds. But this last month, I've started to have binge eating episodes. I dont starve myself, I think its more of a mental issue I'm having with my self control. Anyways, ahahaha, so I figured I'd give this a try. I'm hopeing I can make some friends going through the same thing and find some people with the same issue. Ahahahahaha, I need help, I'm desprate.

Welcome. I'm not really sure sure why you keep saying ahahahaha like this is a joke but it could be a nervous tactic.

Sorry. I cannot help with your issues since I am not dealing with that. Hopefully someone else will come along. Good luck!

shelley - 160 pounds lost in a few months? wow. you've done FABULOUS!!!! and as you're finding out, weight management is more of a head game than about exactly what we put in our mouths. Oh yes, we need to eat healthfully and not too much and all that, but figuring out what works, and breaking the emotional connection and so on - that's where the real work lies.

having said all that, you might want to check out the Chicks In Control thread here http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/chicks-control-64/ they understand.

Shelley, Congratulations on your amazing weight loss! Like Jiffypop said, the head stuff is just as important as calories in/calories out. Would you be open to seeing a counsellor? They might be able to help you sort things out. Or Google Geneen Roth. She uses an inside out approach. Or like Jiffy said, the Chicks in Control forum.

Good luck, we are rooting for you!

I don't think it's a joke. I write ahaha for almost everything even when I'm crying, it's a habit. But thank you all.
