Nora - - hey, I've been overweight most of my life. So, I get the struggle. I don't want you to be ashamed either. You are so worth the effort you are putting into getting healthy. It must be hard to be at college and trying to lose weight. I found that literally keeping track of everything I put into my mouth keeps me accountable and honest. So, your recognizing and stopping "mindless" eating is so huge!!!Keep battling...
