| New to this
Hi there! I am fairly new to the site (less than a month) and this is my first time posting to this group. I originally joined as I had a problem with excessive marijuana use and am now 20 days sober. I am, however, overweight and have been for most of my life. I want so much to stop my obsession with food, but it is so difficult and it truly is an old friend of mine. Can anyone offer any advice about how to start loving myself and stop killing myself with food. Everytime I tell myself I am going to stop eating (especailly sweets are my downfall and i LOVE them), I find myself back at the store buying something. I don't know what to do. I know I can't and I know I shouldn't, but I just keep doing the same thing over and over day in and day out! I have 2 boys (4 and 1) and my 4 year old is starting to know the difference between fat people and skinny people. I am teaching him compassion but I hate myself for being one of the fat people. I hate that I can't "save" him from high places at the playground. I hate that I can't always keep up with him, and he will only get fast. Please, can anyone help me? I appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!
Holly
