FIrst day. Want to drop 18 pounds. Goal, next february. It is hard for those of us who "look" small to be encouraged but I way overeat due to stress right now and know that I feel great when I am in my smaller jeans. I will be checking in here three times a day so any posts are welcome. Soapydayone.

Be motivated by your stress if not just by your jeans size. Whether you are big or small, stress will kill you, especially stress accompanied by binging. Getting your life focused on healthy living will help you reduce stress and you waistline.
Good luck.

Thanks for the advice. Thanks for the encouragement. I was about to cave, now I think I can wait for lunch, I am not really hungry, just stressng over a family situation. Eating will not solve that I realize. But what to do in place of eating? : :

go for a walk, or exercise in general is a great stress reliever.
Think about it...overeating only causes you more stress in the end...

Welcome to the forum and Good Luck with your goal!
