I am a compulsive overeater. I've tried lots of things to stop myself - everything except face the reason I'm doing it. I don't really know why but I thought if I wrote about it maybe I could find out what it is.

So now's a perfect time to start. I'm alone in the house (always a risky thing) and I'm not hungry. I've got a cold and don't feel like doing much (except looking in the fridge). Ok I'm not going to do that. If I quiet myself down I realize I'm a bit lonely. We moved several years ago and I haven't yet made any close friends here. Between home and my job I haven't seemed to have time. Also this town is smaller than where I used to live and everyone already seems to have good friends. But then again it's not that small. I need to find some friends.
