Hi Everyone!
I'm a woman from Florida who suffers from deppression and binge eating disorder and I'm looking to give and recieve some support. It's really nice to be here!
Have a happy and healthy 2010 everyone
You've landed in a great spot for support and advice. You may want to check out the Chicks in Control forum and the Depression and Weight Issues forum, but feel free to post wherever you feel most at home. Best of luck to you! It can be done!
P.S. - Congrats on your progress thus far! I just noticed and that is a fantastic loss!
Hi TiggersMom!
Wow, you've really been successful so far - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on.
Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated and inspired - you'll be a wonderful addition to any of them - you will be able to offer support and insight to others facing the challenges of binge eating and depressions - check out those forums. There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help get through the ups and downs.
There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.
I've only been here a few months myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.
So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
