Hi all, I've know for a while that I eat to suppress uncomfortable emotions. Trouble has been that I've been holding in too many uncomfortable emotions for years, so all my efforts to fix the eating have just ended in me feeling even worse.

Now I've been seeing a counsellor for 6 months, and learned some better tools for dealing with the baggage. So I'm here in hopes of some good advice and friendly support in putting aside the habit of eating to relieve feelings other than hunger.

I do aim to reduce my weight, and my counsellor is helping me to set small goals, without using them as a stick to beat myself.

Hope to get to know you!
