i am definitely a emotional eater and keeps putting these off, also collect people who use me as an emotional ATM , which leaves me angry . i think i am also afraid of myself if i lose the weight, as i was sexual abuse as a child and drawn towards needy people who i can fix and mend.so i have decided to lose weight and challenge my feelings and my thought process, would like to have an buddy , any offers ?

Omg! You just told my life story while writing yours. I’m also a survivor of sexual abuse and rape. I sought comfort in trying to solve the the worlds issues, but was unwilling to face my own. I have continuously allowed ppl to walk over me and mistreat my loving spirit… NOT ANYMORE!!! I’m taking my life back and refusing to be a victim any longer! I AM in control, and I am now conscious of this fact. If you need support in you journey my sister, I am here to support you. Our road will not be easy, but remember why and what this transformation is for!
