Bless your heart. It is tough to lose someone so close to you. I am just coming back after about 6 months. I found the support to be helpful before so I hope you find the support you need here.

There are people using lots of different approaches on here. I have been doing a low carb diet for 16 months and have lost over 8 stone. I love it and it works for me. There are lots of people doing calorie counting and exercise who can tell you about that. I think the best thing to do is to find something you can adopt as a lifestyle without too much stress.

So sorry about the loss of your mother. That must have been so incredibly hard.

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I am also an emotional eater... always have been and am ready to commit to a new life. I have been on every yoyo diet out there- each worse than the next. I have tried many things and some that have even worked, for a while at least. Till they stopped or I gave up.. I guess I also need friends. The friends I have are very physically fit and do not understand my struggle or why it isn't as easy for me to go to the gym with them and have the same results- My body had a sluggish metabolism and I really have to be strict diet wise which I'm not great at when I'm stressed out or upset by something.

thank you,
Brittany
