Hi my name is K... aka Henry's Mom - Henry is my hamster
I am 46
5ft tall 180 lbs

I would love to get to 150 or lower -

30 lbs is what i would like to lose. That doesnt sound like too much but
my self esteem is so low that i honestly dont think i will succeed.

I am an emotional eater and i feel i am addicted to food. Its all i ever think about now a days. I have only been this way for around 6 months and i am afraid if
i dont get control over it i will be hitting 200 soon.

Looking for support and tips

Welcome K! I am new to this site as well. Congratulations on starting your journey! I feel like this site is a great place to find the support and tips that you need!

Hello K! I am 46 years old, too. I am 5'2" and 182, so we have a few things in common. You can do it! I believe in you!

(I really do.)

Short people power! lol

Hi K! Since you feel addicted to food, I have to wonder: Are you eating a lot of high-carb foods like breads/grains, pasta, potatoes, sweets? Quick-burning carbs like that cause you to be hungry all the time if you have a carb-sensitivity. It sounds like you might. Whatever diet you choose, you may want to consider limiting your carbs. I think it might help get your hunger under control. Good luck!

Hello and welcome! Another 40-something here as well.
