Hello
I'm 30 from Cincy; and new to both 3FC and OA, thinking of actually joining a local OA meeting but still incredibly nervous and unsure if it's right for me.
I'm also looking for some sort of support system/other's with similar goals to connect with. I have a small incredibly close group of girlfriend's and while we ALL enjoy
talking about losing weight together for one reason or another we end up getting together and just eating... essentially we are all counter-productive and I want out of that vicious cycle of "same old same old", so like minded friends and/or someone that I can hold accountable and vice versa as a support system would be fantastic.
Long story short, I was a very very thin kid until I hit puberty, so I started gaining weight around the age of 14. I ended up being diagnosed with PCOS if you know what that is, you know that in itself is just an amazing diagnosis. (joke) So the weight has been a steady incline. I recall being a size 20 my senior year (which now would be ideal) and now find myself in limbo between a 28 and 30, which sucks to say write let alone say out loud. I know I need to work on accountability, but that's a whole other issue that I'm addressing. I seem to do this yo-yo dieting thing very well. I get very motivated and I do really well, then I get busy with life... and I'm right back to where I started.
