I joined this forum in November 2011 after reading dozens of uplifting stories from different members on this forum. If you were to google the term "binge eater" you would see my face. I contantly over ate, and food was the #1 thing on my mind. I would plan out what I would eat for the day, and my idea of a good time would be visiting different restaurants I had never tried. I would constantly tell myself that my weight at the time was okay, because I'm so tall. I'm 5'10 and weighed 200 lbs at the start of my journey. I weighed myself this morning and I weigh 167! My goal weight is 150, so I have about 17 more lbs to go. I feel great, and I am happier then I've ever been. I'm starting to fit into clothes that I haven't been able to fit into in years.
I just want every one to know that the struggle is so worth it. I haven't binged in about 2 months or so. I get cravings, but I've learned to overcome them. The high I get off of seeing the scale drop, and looking great in my clothes, has replaced the comfort that i was receiving from food. Its the best feeling in the world!
I love all of you. Each and every one of you have been a huge inspiration to me. Thanks for everything!
Over half way there!
