Hello All!
I am a new girl here from NC. I must first say that this community is such a blessing. I have joined at just the time that I need your support and encouragement the most. I hit rock bottom yesterday! I had an emotional breakdown when I took pictures of myself for my upcoming Breast Reduction surgery in January. As I focus on the fact that I am doing something good for my body with the breast reduction I have to face the facts of what I have done to the rest of my body.
I have gained 40lbs in the last three years and I just do not even feel like this is my body (if that makes sense). I felt so disconnected to this body because I don't recognize it. Well I had to face it yesterday and it was so hard but necessary. I had some major life issues that I have been dealing with since 2004 and obviously I have been eating my way through this.
I used to be so attractive and sexy and I just don't even feel that way anymore. I want my life back. I want my sincere confidence back. I want my body back. I want to be the absolute best woman that I can be!
I am so grateful that I have joined this board because all of you ladies have either already overcome or are in the same boat and we can be of so much support to one another. I thank you all for your support and encouragement!
This is the road to recovery & this is a great way to begin the new year! The best is yet to come ladies!!
New Chick from NC!
