To understand that we are emotionlal eaters, and to try to identify why we eat when we are not really physically hungry. To hopefully regain some control. To share support with each other. To be happier over the long term by finding ways to not let our obsession control us!

41 years old, based in Washington DC, work as a writer/editor for an education non-profit. I've been overweight my whole life, with the exception of two blocks of 3-4 years when I successfully lost weight and managed to stay on a healthy eating/exercise plan. I have problems with night eating, fast food, emotional eating. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in March and have lost 22 pounds since. Need to lose many, many more. Although my glucose levels get better every week, I'm still unsure sometimes what I should be eating.

I am a college student home for the summer struggling in a constant battle with overeating. Just a year ago I was 25 pounds lighter and slightly anorexic, but once I was forced to gain weight by my doctor, I ended up overdoing it and ultimately reversed my eating disorder to binge-eating. I try to diet, but I always overdo it by eating too restrictively, leading to even larger binges and gained weight. Dieting is all I think about, and I can't live like this anymore.

I am a mother of two beautiful children, Elena & Elijah, and wife of a fantastic husband - Nate. I am a member of the First United Methodist Church in Washington, PA, and am very active. I also am an almost full-time working mom and I have a title abstracting company woth my mother and a friend.
