    I'm new to this. . .

    I have just joined and am a bit unsure what to write here.

    I guess i start with why. I am a healthy, fit, young girl. I know i am not overweight and alot of people would say i have a nice figure. And its not that i think otherwise. i dont exaclty hate my body. That isnt the reason why i joined at all. I do however believe i have a bit of an issue with food. A bit of a compulsive eater i would say. I constantly think about food. First thing i do when im up and last thing i do when i go to sleep. Im thankful that i have a fast metabolism however i would like to shed a few kilos and get a 'better' body. Mostly i want to overcome the idea that food isnt the most important thing in my life. i wish i could just go through a day without thinking o whats for dinner and craving sweets 24/7. I want to be able to go somewhere and not just think about having the last bit of cake, go to my mums and not run straight to the fridge, leave food on my plate because im full, be able to go out for dinner and not crave dessert even though im soooooo full. I guess this forum allows me to talk about these things and get advice and relate to others in my position. I'm kinda embarrassed about doing this as my sister (really the only one i have told) thinks its ridiculous and normal with how im feeling. But my friends and peers dont think the way i do. I want to prevent from the future from being overweight and only eat for hunger, not compfort, boredom and the sake of it.

    Guess thats all for now, Will keep you posted.

    After 2 days of terrible junk food binging, today has been good with cereal, a good lunch and fruit for an arvo snack. I just want to eat healthy (not diet), avoid junk food all the time (occasional) and exercise like i used to (nearly everyday) before i moved away from home.

    See ya, Miss J.

    A good book for you to look into is "If not dieting, then what?". It talks about learning to treat food as a friend, and removing the "good" and "bad" labels. I think for someone like you it would be excellent! I have a heap of weight to lose, which makes it harder, but it could really be worth looking at. It sucks, doesn't it? I aspire to be someone who simply eats due to hunger! Imagine thinking at 2pm, "Oh, I am hungry, I forgot lunch!!!" LOL!
