Hello!

I am 27 years old and married with a 2 year old son. I have binge eaten since I was a teenager and currently have depression which means I comfort eat a lot. I am so bloody miserable with my weight - none of my clothes look good on me and my eczema is bad because of the amount of crud I eat.

I would love to buddy up with someone here to encourage each other to lose weight. I need to lose about 2 stone (29 pounds to be exact) and would love to have it cracked by the new year, though that might be too optimistic!

Itch.

Welcome Skinny itch -

Have you seen the "Chicks in Control" forum? It might be a good place to talk about your food issues. Also, there is a "Depression and Weight Loss" forum, which I find absolutely great for talking about the special challenges that depression brings to the weight loss table.

We also have a UK forum - basically, there are tons of places for you to jump in and start posting, so keep going and I can't wait to hear from you soon!
