Newbie here,
I have been slowly losing weight but tackled another problem on another womans' forum and really feel that made all the difference. So, I am here to lose 50 lbs. So far I have lost, 13 lbs this year. Now, my focus is on my food addiction. I am aware of why I eat. I also have tools for resisting and will use them for this. Ok ladies, looks like a great group of ladies here and I look forward to losing this weight once and for all. I am walking about 2 miles a week. All, junk food is almost all cleared out. I have had my orowheat high fiber toast with a tablespoon of honey this morning with coffee. Thank you for being here.!

Great Book!
I understand exactly what you are saying and feeling, and I'm sure there are a lot of women out there feeling the same way. I think this book might help. Please don't be put off by the title, it is not a religious book. I found it comforting and really hit home.

If you have time to do some reading, it is very insightful. The author gets it.

OMG!!! sskogg I so just bought that book like 2 days ago. I started it last night and took it to work with me today. I can so relate to this book. Her examples and stories. I'm trying to figure out how to absorb all the information and remember all the things I need to be focused on rather then hiding in my plate. I love this book so far. It is truly like she crawled out of my head. I just wanted to sit and cry as I read some of it. I'm gonna keep reading and work on stopping trying to fix me! I have noticed that since starting this book I am more concious about what I am putting in my mouth at meal time.(sp?)
