I can do this! (Looking for some support buddies as well!)

  • Hello my name is Alexis, I've struggled with weight problems my entire life. I've decided to make a serious change, for real this time... I swear! My eating habits aren't the greatest and I want to change them and have a healthier lifestyle! I'm beginning to feel my weight effecting my body and at a young age I shouldn't have the problems that I have. I also struggle with mental health issues as well. I have a real problem with binge eating and my cravings can get intense sometimes. I find it very hard to cope with all of it. I'm looking for a buddy that can help support me and vice versa!
  • View it as changing you lifestyle so start making small changes to your food habits and don't view it as restriction. I know people who suffer with binge eating and as soon as they think they can't have something they crave it - If you ever need anyone to chat to I'll be here
  • Welcome! I have a binge eating problem as well, sometimes I don't even realize I'm eating, it's just a habit. Sometimes out of boredom, sometimes it's emotional. I'm currently trying to drink a glass of water every time I wander into the kitchen and open a cabinet or the fridge.
    Good luck!

    That's exactly it! Whenever I tell myself no my cravings become so intense. And thank you!

    That's a good idea, I will try that. Good luck to you as well!
