Well, isn't this nice?

Hello everyone.

My name's Darren, I'm 32, and a compulsive eater.

I'm three weeks into a dust diet and have just completed my first food-free week, which is nice. Just thought I'd register on here as my girlfriend used it before, and said that you guys provide excellent support.

So yeah, hello

Hi Darren!
I've been known to compulsive eat when I'm bored or stressed.. simply can't say no to food sometimes.
Hopefully being that we both have the same issues we can encourage each other!

I eat when I'm bored, or when crappy food is just there. It's awful.

there's this app (though it's kind of 'girly') and it has a panic button for when you want to binge. it's called MyDietCoach. But the panic button is only for the pro version (so it's .99 instead of free), but even on the regular it has advice for things you can do instead of eating. hope it helps.

Hi and welcome. Can I ask what the "dust diet" is?
I am on WW. Currently 9.9kg (21lbs) down. Have also given up cigarettes and I am on day 3 of my 100 day challenge.
Good luck on your journey.

It's a euphemism for any diet that relies on shakes and soups. The one I'm doing is Exanté. It's not easy, and I'm *really* missing food...

Wow! 21lbs is amazing! Well done you!

Thank you. I bet your missing food. How long do you have to be on just shakes and soups???
