Overeater from Massachusetts

  • Hi. My name is Jen. I'm 31 years old. I am a yo-yo dieter. I also think I have a binge eating disorder (BED) / compulsive eating problem. I like to eat until I'm uncomfortably full. I am the queen of rationalizing ... "I cheating, so it's ok to be eat anything & everything I want for the rest of the day."

    I have also been trying to conceive for a year. Last year before we started I went on weight watchers (the only way I can lose weight) and went from 157 to 142 in 4 months. Then we started ttc. I proceeded to gain one pound a week for 30 weeks. I think I'm at a point in my journey where I need to help myself ... put myself above most things in my life and fix whatever is going wrong.

    I'm such a picky eater. I really don't like any meat ... I'll have turkey/chicken every once in a while, but I don't like it. Dh is a meatlover. It becomes an awful challenge to feed us both ... so I end up eating kraft mac & cheese every night for dinner.
  • glad you are here .Good luck with your weight loss
  • Welcome. I have a little group that is about slowly making good habits (takes 21 days to make a new one). If you'd like to join, we'd love the company. Either way, good luck and welcome!
  • welcome...come join us in the 30 something group. or there are other groups on this board that can help you specific problems. Most of us cruise all around the boards and see what others have to say.

    Also one thing i would suggest...eating healthy..if you really are trying to concieve..mac and cheese won't cut it. Even if you arent a big meat eater...start eating fish, veggies fruits...

    good luck with your journey.
