This is my first serious attempt to diet. I am finding this site especially helpful, in terms of learning how fattening the things I eat are. I've always had a problem with food, sweets especially. It's very easy for me to binge on 6000 kcals just because I am bored or lonely or frustrated of pissed off or .....

I also exercise with a personal trainer 3 times a week and twice a week I hit the sauna. I've been told it raises your metabolism.

I live in Athens, Greece.
