Howdy ya'll! My name is Megan. A little about me: I'm 29, live in Missouri. I have 3 beautiful kids and have been married for a little over 9 years. I manage a busy salon here in town and have hopes of moving before too long.
My story: In September of last year, I fell into depression after my marriage nearly ended and I have gained at least 50 lbs since then. Now things are A LOT better than they were and we've decided to work things out. I've struggled all my life with weight and although I'm heavy, I've been extremely healthy-good numbers when it comes to blood pressure, sugars and cholesterol. For some reason, I have a hard time as seeing myself as being heavy. Until I put on this weight, I've never had problems with my ankles hurting, hip problems or getting winded easily. I'm constantly tired and achy, get headaches a lot easier and my skin is an utter mess right now. This gain is different than what I've gained in the past. It's really affecting me. That's why I want to do something about it.
I've been here before and there are some amazing people on here. I'm hoping I can find some new friends and hopefully find one or two people I connect well with. My husband tries to be supportive but falls short. He's a bit younger than me and I just don't think he understands the role of being the supporter. All of my close friends moved away after high school, and I got married shortly after graduating so I don't have any real friends - it's just be me, him and the kids ever since.
Thanks for listening....everyone have a blessed day
