Hey!

I just joined this forum and have been browsing all the different threads. There is a lot going on and I am excited to be a part this great support system.

I am 40 years old, 5' 7" and 230 pounds. The main reason I gained all the weight is because I am an emotional eater. I eat to feel good, but end up feeling bad.

I really need to work on what I eat. I am not much of a fruit and vegetable person, but love fried and fast food. I crave it. I would say I am addicted to food.

I just started exercising. I do the elliptical, treadmill, stationary bike or walk around the neighborhood for 20 minutes, twice a day.

I hope to make a lot of friends and find support as well as give it when I can.

Take care,

Debbie :)
 
Welcome to the site and to your diary -hope you have lots of fun here -- we like fun :D least i do and others just humor me :D you'll find that you aren't the only emotional eater around here... so you're in good company - and will have lots and lots of support :)

My own experience with vegetables -is that most people who say they don't like them - grew up with my mother and only had veggies out of a can or frozen veggies cooked til they were dead - play around witih different preparations and you might find you actually like them :) Roasting with a bit of olive oil and garlic can make any veggie taste good :)
 
Thanks Maleficent.

I appreciate the warm welcome. I look forward to reading your diary and getting to know you.

Thanks for the tip about the vegetables. I will have to give it a try. You were right about my mother cooking vegetables from a can. :)

Take care,

Debbie
