Hi all, my name is Taylor and I found this forum while searching how to not bored eat so much. I've got a horrible bored eating problem now ever since I lost my job and have gained almost 15 lbs in the past three months eek

Now I'm having trouble losing weight, my weight has stayed almost the same for the past few weeks or so despite going to the gym, but I'm not sure if I'm gaining muscle or if I'm just at a standstill. I'm stuck in the 150's!

Either way, I've been a member of many forums before and hope to find comfort and help here, thanks all and have a good one!

hi there and welcome!!! im a newbie too and im also in atlanta! where in atlanta are you??

Are u changing your eating habits too, like they say weight loss happens in the kitchen. I used to eat when bored too, do u have a hobby that can take up your time? Or spend time making healthy meals. Best of luck and welcome, hope u find the support u need here I know I did!

desty, I live in the cherokee county area with my boyfriend.

And chubbie, yes!! What is weird is that when I lived with my mom and ate what they ate (processed foods, snack cakes, white carbs and for the love of the deep fryer!) I maintained a weight of about 140-145. Now that I live with my healthy-food freak boyfriend all that is cut out, we eat tons of fresh vegetables, fish, lean meats, whole grains and things like salt, butter and mayonnaise are completely absent in this house. I'm not sure if maybe I'm gaining muscle at the gym, but I'm sure that my love of cheap beer is completely to blame.

(Flashback: before when I used to weigh 240 I was pretty much on a see-food diet that involved a lot of high fat & creamy foods, then I began to have digestive problems and was eventually diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease at 19, after having lost about 100 lbs unnaturally in about 5 months. Now between flare ups, my weight yo-yos horribly. When my intestines flare up my weight drops dramatically and when it's not my weight rises dramatically. It's awful!!)

Welcome and good luck on your journey!!!

Cool im in douglasville.
