Hi everyone.
I just found this site yesterday and signed up immediately. I posted a thread in the Introductions section, and after describing my issues, someone suggested this section for me, and I definitely think this is where I should be.
I'm a binge eater, and emotional eater, a stress eater. I've gained and lost so much weight I've lost track. I've yo-yo'd more than anyone else on the planet (or so it feels!!) and despite the fact that I can't stand looking at myself (or pictures of myself) and I get really depressed when I'm on the "up" end of the yo yo, I still struggle horribly trying to eat healthy. I'll do really well for months at a time, lose a bunch of weight, then fall off the wagon and gain it all back, sometimes more. Then it happens again. I gained a lot of weight while pregnant, and since having my baby 10 months ago, have really struggled to lose it.
I started a new plan yesterday with a different approach to eating than what I'm used to (I've been doing Weight Watchers off and on for 4 years) and I'm hoping this new strategy is what I need. Day 1 went really well, and I'm trying to stay positive, but it's hard not to be pessimistic about the whole thing, considering my history.
Oh, and the day before I started my new eating plan, I ate an entire bag of oreos within about 3 or 4 hours.
So here I am, I hope that I can get some support from members here, and also give support to those who need it also.
