Hi everyone. Newbie here that stumbed across the site looking for south beach information.

I'm an emotional eater. I've went from 140 to 230 to 160 to 230 in the last 5 years. Last time I got up to 230 I got angry at myself, exercised like crazy and dieted it off in no time flat. At 160 for a long time, then went through a horrible breakup and in no time I'm back to 230. It's been 2 years and I'm still here.

Lack of friends is my biggest downfall this time. I get so lonely and depressed.

I hope this website really helps me be the person I know I am again.

Can't wait to meet everyone. )

hi April,

i;m new too! Eat for pretty much the same reasons though boredom seems to be my worst!

Hey hey...

I know all about the lack of friends! It really hurts sometimes especially when you're trying to lose weight, or even if you wanna go out and do something... Doing it alone is no fun, however.. At 3fc we're all here for you!

I just wanted to say that I too am an emotional eater and I've done the roller coaster thing too. I think most people here can relate to that. We will all work through this and come out winners. This is a great site to meet new friends too. Good luck on your journey

I just joined but this seems like a wonderful site! Its not easy to find suppourt and its nice to hear so many encouraging words that everyone is sharing. I wish everyone the best of luck and that you all find the happiness that you are searching for no matter what weight that means.
