Hey guys,

Another fat chick here trying to get right.

I've been dieting (I say that very loosely) and incorporating exercise into my life for a few weeks now. I haven't seen a great amount of progress as far as weight loss, but my double chin in the making is disappearing, and my clothes are alot more loose on me. Gives me a great deal of confidence.

I think my biggest problem is that when I mess up, I really mess up. Like if I want a sweet, I won't have one oatmeal creme pie, but like 4 back to back. It's hard to tell my brain to stop, but I swear it's like when a shark smells blood... I've pinpointed the problem, so the next step is fixing it. Hopefully you guys can help me with that.

But yeah, in a nutshell I'm fat, and I don't wanna be.

Here's to a healthy weight loss journey,
Senora

Hi and welcome!

I can relate to the overeating. You know how people say eat in moderation.. I often wondered how easy that would be. I am finding that once I start eating more healthy foods, the less that I crave fatty foods. I never thought it would be true, but I have been eating healthy for a week or two and I don't really crave the chips, chocolates or ice cream junk that I was eating before (I even walked by the ice cream in the grocery store without picking one up)

Admitting your fat is a good step. I never wanted to admit that either, but a wake up call from the doctor changed that. Good luck on your goals.

Welcome to 3FC, we are glad you are here!

Thank you sooooo much for the support you all. Means so much.

I was just talking with a co-worker the other day about the fact that I really don't have an "issue" with food...I don't eat when I am sad, mad, or stressed. I eat what I like and sometimes can't stop because I LOVE the taste and chewing sensation that accompanies some foods and if I know there is some left in the fridge of something I LOVE, it calls to me until I finish it off! I also have a hard time with binge eating...

This! We're on the same boat. I just <3 food so much.
