Hi everyone,
My name is Charlotte. I'm working on losing a good 100 pounds. I've been overweight pretty much my whole life. I'm working a lot on figuring out why I eat the way I do and also working on eating differently. I'm not on any diet, but I am trying to eat differently. I think of it as eating "lower down." Like, eating foods lower on the food chain or lower on the chain of being processed. So, brown rice instead of white, lots of veggies and fruits and so forth. I love veggies, so this part is fun. I'm trying to learn more about cooking, especially mexican and south american foods. I'm all about the spice.
Anway, nice to meet you.

I think it's good that you're trying to figure out why you overeat, whether it's boredom, stress or emotional issues, it definitely helps to get a handle on the why's so that you can overcome any pitfalls that you might face.
Anyways, good luck and hope to see more of your posts :-)

It sounds like you are going about your weight loss in a very reasonable and smart way so congratulations on that! I think it's great that you are trying to figure out *why* you eat like you do. I am finding out so much about myself as I'm losing weight...it's like rediscovery, you know? Anyway...I don't know a lot about the type of cooking you're interested in but here are a few sites that you might find useful:
