Hi am am new here and i am a compulsive eater as well it has hit me tonight that is what i have!!! I never considered myself to be and after reading these posts WOW i belong here, i just thought i had poor food choices eat whatever i want for days than feel real gross and starve myself for a while. I went on to fitday.com tonight to see just how bad my days were, on a few days they were over 11,000 calories!!!!!!!!!!!
I have had many life changing devastating things happen in the past that, i had been using food,and sweets for comfort!! I cannot live like this any more!
I need to lose this weight and develop HEALTHY eating patterns, I have 4 beautiful children who are the world to me, I need to do this for myself and for them!!

Welcome sweetcharade!!!! 4 beautiful children sounds like great motivation to me. I only have 7 cats to motivate me.

Please come join us on one of our weekly threads!!!

Are you the artist of the painting in your signature? It's beautiful and you are very talented if you did . . .

Congratulations on your insight, self discovery! You've taken a crucial step towards healing! Realizing that you have a problem, admitting it and learning that you are NOT alone!

Hi! I'm new here too. I've been lurking a little, and you all seem very nice and supportive. I've been binging on and off since I was about 7. My weight has always been out of control, but since I had my DS last October its the highest its ever been. I'm determined to get my eating under control for my little boy and his future siblings.

Welcome to you too ScooterGirl!!!!

Please join us on the other threads as well and make yourself right at home!!!

Welcome! I know what you mean. It's like, "Oh my gosh. This is ME."

It's good to be able to talk to other people who are experiencing this disorder...to find out what makes them tick...to share what makes us tick. It truly does help b/c COE is a very, very, very mental and emotional issue. It's hard work to dig in there deep, and it can hurt, so having people to support you on this journey is huge. Anyway...welcome.

Thank you so much!! We are all in this together

Thanks so much for the welcome! I'll be sure to do a profile.

ScooterGirl, welcome! And congratulations on your loss so far!!
