I'm new. I'm soon to be 25 years old with two boys ages 6 and 9. I'm 5'3 144-149 lbs. I work full time as a LPn and am going to full time night school to get my RN. I can't stop eating and I eat all the wrong things. I am wanting to lose weight so I will feel more comfortable with myself in and out of clothes. My usual weight before this over one year long binge was usually 122-128 lbs. My self esteem is the lowest it's ever been and my husband of almost 3 years is depressed because I'm "not the woman" he married. He loves me but I don't look the same and my self image is so bad now. :( I really need to get some motovation to lose this weight. Please leave me some encouraging words. thanks! ps- good luck to all who are on their own weight loss journey!
 
Hi, welcome to the board. You need to explain to your husband that telling you that you are not the woman he married only hurts your feelings. Beating your self esteem down isn't going to help you lose weight! He needs to know this. As for you, motivation has to come from within, we can give it to you. But..this is a very supportive board and there is a lot of good information floating around here. You can take a look at the stickies if you need any help with nutition or exercise. Good luck!! You can do this. :D
 
Good luck. Try working on your diet and getting in whatever activity you can... park in the back of the parking lot or get off a bus stop or two early. Every little bit counts.

Once you start shedding the pounds you'll start to gain some of that confidence back and that generally shines through in how you carry yourself... a more confident walk, a smile, whatever.

You won't drop the weight overnight, but it'll happen and it'll be sustainable and that's the main thing.
 
Hey and Welcome..
I am the sore loser at binging as well.. but I am reading a fantastic book about food addict and I am losing weight...

One thing I always do is go to the fridge. I usually open the door, take a peak in and realize what I am doing. I am eating out of boredom, depression, saddness, celebration as a treat, or fear ..or anything and than I have black and white thinking...where once I mess up, I decide its useless and keep eating .. if anything sounds familiar just send me a message and I can tell you the book name and its author. I bought it off Barnes n nobles site. Its actually helped tremendously ..sometimes I have set backs .. like the past two weeks, but I am picking up the pace and reading the first chapter again. If you need any adive, just ask, I can deliver whats on the pages, their suggestions to you, on how to stop binging and what not

Welcome to your journey
and I will check in on your diary when you have one

best wishes
