Hey everyone. This is the very first time that I've even been on the Transformations site but I am happy to know that it exists.

I've struggled with weight and eating ever since elementary school. I'm definitely an emotional eater. I think a lot of it stems from being the new girl (we moved a lot) and never really fitting in as well as emotional abuse and neglect (and etc) by a parent. I've gone through pretty much anything you can think of when it comes to dysfunctional eating. Currently I'm struggling with binge eating. I've gained a significant amount of weight in the last 2-3 years and I KNOW how to take it off (and have had success doing so) but food has become a way to self-soothe. I have no real support network, and eating tends to fill a void.

I'm here to find people who "get it" as well as to find the tools to recovery. Enough is enough, you know?
