Hello everyone. I'm really hoping this site will help me. I am 24 years old, married. I am 5'4 and weigh 215 pounds. I would like to get back down to 130. I find dieting very difficult. I have a problem with compulsive eating and bingeing. I also have had issues with my digestive system since I had my gallbladder removed in December. I hope I can meet some friends and maybe find someone who shares the same struggles with weight as I do.

Hi! Well, congrats for taking the first step. There are tons of people who fight with the same issues as you--try the Chicks in Controls, Dieting with obsticals, and the 20-something forums.

Good luck!

Love your name -- I have an image of a Godzilla-like chocolate chip cookie bearing down on me! My personal doom cookie: the Double Doozer from Great American Cookie Company. <SIGH> I miss that thing ...

My hubby had his GB removed as well -- did your doc talk to you about slimming down? I got the lecture from my OB after the birth of our daughter. No more babies until I lose 50 pounds! Hang in there, though -- you've made a good choice today. Make another one tomorrow!

Hey there, and

I want to second the recommendation for the "Chicks in Control" forum - lots of folks there who struggle with binge eating and other disordered food behaviors, and a ton of support! So do look there.

We also have forums by eating plan, age range, and etc...plus a ton of little clubs, groups, and challenges to explore.

So jump on in and get to posting! I can't wait to get to know you better!

Welcome to 3FC =)

You aren't alone! There are plenty of people here who love supporting each other as we make our goals into realities.

Hope to see you around the boards!

Hey Doom!
Looks like we both are around the same size.

Good luck with your loss--if you need a partner, I'm here. I'm new.

You've already lost 10 pounds, so keep up the good work. We all struggle. Success is when you keep on going in the face of the struggles.
