Hi. my name's lauren. im 16, 5'7.5" and i way 142 pounds. i know, medically, im at a perfect weight, but i would really like to lose five or ten pounds. im very active. i love to play soccer and workout, however, when it comes to eating, i have a real problem. i'm a blind eater. i overeat often and usually its crap im eating. whenever i go to the market i try to buy healthy food, however, my mom has a really bad junk food habit. she is obsessed with snow caps and gummy bears. i have also now become obsessed with them.:/. my problem is when im out or with my friends, i have good control and can eat well, but when i get home, i lose control. i have began to eat gummy bears and snow caps daily, i eat animal crackers, ...really, anything i can get my hands on and start eating quickly. im always telling my mom i need help, to not buy junk, but she doesnt listen. she tells me i just need to not eat it....the thing is, i have no will power and cant help myself. i eat when im bored or am stressed or depressed. im hoping i can change my eating habits around by joining this website and getting support and help from others with the same problems.
