Hey all,
Im new to this site, but I thought this would be the right "section" of the site to open up about my issues regarding my weight. I was sexually assaulted a year a go by one of my "best" friends. Ive gone to therapy and have made a lot of progress, but Ive gained 60 pounds in the past year. I think I ate to keep men away and protect myself, but now Im 21 and feeling like Im trapped in an old womans body. Im tired and out of breath a lot, so Ive decided the time has come to drop the weight. I just need support so I dont fall into old patterns. Im still pretty skittish around men I dont know, which I know is to be expected for sometime. Has anyone here experienced a similar situation or other trauma and have any advice?
Thanks!
Chrissy
