I'm a new member and look forward to meeting all of you

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I am a new member and wanted to introduce myself. I have spent the last few

days looking through this group's posts and files and have already found it to

be hugely helpful.

I am a 25 year old woman from Canada and I struggle with emotional eating. I

have struggled with this from my early teens but only recently realized that I

am an emotional eater (I don't know why I never made that realization earlier in

life)

I am overweight as a result and this hurts my confidence and self-esteem. The

most vicious part about this cycle is that I will go from being fat to super hot

and back to fat. Each time I gain weight it is worse than the time before

because people look at me as though they're thinking " what the heck happened to

you? You used to be so pretty! "

So, I've discovered than I'm an emotional eater and I have so far been making

slow but steady progress in understanding this and myself. I have really bad

days and good days.

I have found that when you stop feeding your 'void' and stop emotional eating

this forces you to look at the reasons why you eat emotionally in the first

place. Because I have not been filling my 'void' I have had some emotional

outbursts and crazy moments but also some really huge breakthroughs.

Does anyone else struggle with something similar?

I joined this group because I want to live differently, I want to eat

intuitively and be confident and healthy (most of all, healthy)

There are tons of topics I would love to discuss with everyone, but most of all

I am here for the same reason that the rest of you are, for non-judgmental

support.

By the way, my name is Bunny.
