Answer to my prayers!
 

Hearing everyones success stories is truly so inspiring! And what's even more inspiring is knowing there are others JUST LIKE ME who have the same behaviors I do. I feel SO much shame after I binge and have only told one person that I do it. I joke around about how much I love food with my friends but its not a joke anymore. Now when I binge, I am just self sabotaging. I have been searching for help and to find support for these habits that I have developed over the past 6 months. Stress is what triggered it and now I cant control it. Although I am not obese and weigh 140, I am scared for what the future holds for me if I dont get it under control.

Last year I was down to 130. I NEVER thought I could get there. And I did. But then I self sabotaged and im back up again. I realize my issues are deeper than an insane love for food. There are more emotional and I need to address that first.

Anyways, sorry so long!!! I am new to this website and am THANKFUL I found a place where I feel like I am not along and I can share my thoughts with people who UNDERSTAND! I am DETERMINED to get to my goal weight of 120......and I WILL!!! :angel:

This brought tears to my eyes :p I'm such a wimp.
This forum was an an answer to my prayers as well :]

It's wonderful that you're coming to these realizations now, and deciding to get everything in control.

:D You will ABSOLUTELY get to 120. :] And I bet you'll do it in a healthy, safe way that you'll be able to maintain. Welcome to the forums and I hope you post a lot more and keep everyone updated on your story and progress.

Welcome, Determined13! This website has helped me a lot too, to the point that I don't binge anymore and I have lost 24 pounds and started jogging, all this at the age of 47. Join the threads that speak to you, and good luck!

I love this post so much:)

So insperational..! We even have the same goals and evreything.. its so great and you can do it chicky:) evreyones here for you :D

Good luck doll!♥

I really appreciate the support of 3FC. I lose control too and then get so angry at myself. Which doesn't really help, and I figure why bother trying?

I'm tired of being unhealthy (after I turned 50--a while ago--the weight really has messed up my health: high cholesterol, high blood pressure, depression, arthritis...and probably stuff I'm not ever aware of).

Anyway, I appreciate the encouragement instead of shame. :o

I feel like I could have almost written your post myself. I'm really glad that I found this forum and think I can actually get my goals this time, and I know you can too. Good luck!

Welcome Determined13 and everyone else-it's great to have a forum like this -there are a lot of us binge eaters out there - it's great that you found us :)

This is a wonderful place for peer support, guidance, information etc., so you came to the right place for sure! I understand and totally relate to your post. I'm back up 20 lbs after some bingeing for a few months - wow :( but I'm back and ready to get back on my plan. Welcome and hang in there - you WILL achieve your goal, especially with the other chicklettes' help :carrot:
