Hello Everyone,

I'm new here & I've posted some stuff on other people's topics. I just wanted to say how grateful I am to have these message boards and chat rooms. It is such a relief to have a place to share difficult to talk about stuff. I just wanted to share my happiness about finding this web site and joining conversation with you all.

Peace, serenity and joy,

Welcome Firefly,

I am in recovery from drug addiction, but have also struggled with weight and eating. I was overweight as a child and used to get teased for it. I've done the laxative thing, compulsive exerciser, binge eater, etc. You know the routine.

I have been successful in developing better eating habits, but not necessarily in weight loss. Right now I'm thirty pounds overweight, but I no longer beat myself up about it. I've learned that I can like myself even though I am overweight.
