Emotional eater here too!!  Good idea to hang skinny jeans and dresses in plain sight so you can see them.  

I eat when I'm bored but the last 3 days I've been good bout it one day at a time :)

Yeah I also read your post I'm 26 right now and wanting to maake a goal that I won't be fat when I turn 30. I myself am an emotional eater also a boreddum muncher also guilty of being a couch potatoe. I will be more then happy to be buddys with you to help motivate each other.  

I read your post and its like De Ju Vu'. I also am a emotional eater. Or simply  eat out of  boredom. I also have 2 sons ages 2 and 6. I don't think  keeping smaller clothes is corny at all!! it dif a motivator. I have a picture of me at my worst on my fridge and I make myself look at it each day and  tell myself you have to get healthy for yourself and your kids.  I am 29 year old nurse and have also been a stay at home mom for the past 3 years ( since i was 6 month preggers) I give Flu shots  for a few months each year to keep my lic active. Sometimes I think it would be so much easier to go to work than be a stay at home mom.  Great things happen when people have the support of others. Heres to us losing weight and feeling great in the future!!!

Hey everyone I'm looking for a few good buddies to keep me motivated and maybe for a little healthy competition.  I've been dieting for the past few months and I cant seem to stay focused for longer than a week.  I guess you could call me an emotional eater....I get stressed or feel down and I eat. I am soooooo ready to break the cycle and get fit and healthy once and for all!! A little bit about me.....I'm 31,married, and have 2 boys, 5yrs and 4yrs. I'm a teacher but currently am a stay at home mom. Overall I want to lose about 80-100 lbs.  I read somewhere that you should keep a pic or have an actual dress or whatever that you want to fit into. I've set up my closet so that when i walk in i see my "skinny" jeans and two dresses that i bought that are a few sizes too small to help keep me motivated....probably sounds corney but i really want to fit into those dressed!! I look forward to hearing some of your stories. Good Luck to all!!!
