My weight has been an issue all my life. I'm an emotional eater with no boundaries -- I eat when I'm angry, happy, lonely, depressed, bored -- you name it. Even though I'm heavy, I've been bulemic for 20+ years and have punished myself regularly for overeating. I really need to develop healthy eating habits so I can, hopefully for the first time, begin to ENJOY life. I have a teenage daughter and I know I'm not setting a good, healthy example for her and I want to be around to spend time with her children and have the life I've only dreamed of. I feel like I am alone even though I know I'm not. I tend to hide my emotions but then "stuff" them away when they surface so I don't have to deal with them. I need help and a friend told me about SparkPeople and I've been encouraged by what I've read here. I know, without help and REAL CHANGE, I'm dying here. I want to live!
