Default and another new member!

Hello all! New here..My name is Sarah, I am a mom, two girls, 12 and 9. I've been browsing through this forum and it looks like a great place for advice, support and tips I've tried numerous different diets and haven't found one that worked, hmmm maybe I should say I gave up on all of them. I am def an emotional eater and I've never sought help for that. If I am angry, down, frustrated, scared, I eat. I go through sugar phases where that's all I crave and want to eat..like simple carbs and candy. I then put weight on and freak out and then omit sugar..it's a vicious tiring cycle and I'm really wanting to break it, which is why I am here. I am 33, I turn 34 in Sept and I want to feel good and look good. I recently moved and so I am lonely and alone everyday. I ate junk for the last 3 weeks and now I am back on the health wagon again. I really need to get to the root. In the past I would drink alcohol to feel better and now I no longer drink. Food became the escape. I have dreams, I love fashion and I am yearning for the confidence that I know is in me, but it never stays. Actually I would prefer to have confidence regardless of my weight, it seems if I am down in weight, I'm happy, confident etc..if I go up, well out the window goes my confidence. That can't be healthy can it?

anyways to name a few diets I've tried are, Atkins, Southbeach, juicing, courting calories, working out, various gyms, and reg exercising..I just can't seem to get below 170!

Current weight 171 (I'm 5'7 ) and my goal weight is 138-143..around there.

Well hope to make some friends!

Welcome to the forum!
Many of us are emoitional eaters and it is a tough thing to work through but possible.
Since you are loney, if you can afford it, I would suggest joining an exercise class. It will give you an opportunity to meet new people (mostly women) in your area. Plus, it will give you a reason to get out of the house to do something postive for yourself.
Wishing youall the best in your weight loss journey!

Hey, there! Welcome to 3FC!
Everybody is different. Specific diets such as South Beach and Atkins don't work for everyone. There is a key to weight loss. Maybe on these forums, you can find yours, from what others have done.
Stay positive!
