I'm coming back from an absence! Lately I've been doing some soul searching/self-analyzing and I realized I needed to come back to this forum for support. It's so fun and lighthearted. All of you are amazing rolemodels and supporters. I hope to be much more active on the board!
During my searching, I realized I'm a compulsive overeater and I'm addicted to eating. I've joined OA and have been reaping the benefits of practicing the 12 steps. It is amazing how differently I feel when I realize I'm full when eating instead of shoveling it in and feeling sick later.
Since I've been gone, I've gained 15-20 lbs. I had lost some and was doing GREAT for a while, but then I was getting behind in school, so I didn't have time to devote to exersizing, and feeling bored/lonely (not sure why with all I have to do) made me want to eat.
The good news is I'm back, I'm focusing on my hunger level, and next Tuesday my schedule gets a lot less hectic, so I will actually have time to work out in the future. I hope to get to know all of you more--there are a lot more of you since I've been gone =).
