Hi everyone! I just found this site today when I was searching for some recipes and I'm glad I did.
I have had a weight/lack of movement problem for the last 4 years. I am 5'5 and was always 115-125 lbs. After I got into a bad car accident, I started experiencing anxiety/panic attacks while driving that got worse over time. Then one day, almost 4 years ago, my car completely shut down on me, on top of a bridge, in the pouring rain. It scared me so bad, I couldn't even get in a car without feeling like I was going to lose it. To make a long story short, a dr put me on zoloft and xanax and I stayed in the house and ate bad foods all the time. The last 4 yrs have been a depressing and stressful at time because I still haven't overcome my fear of driving and I've gained 45lbs that I haven't been able to lose. Honestly, even though I cry when I shop or see current pictures of myself, I still hadn't hit that point where you say "Okay, enough is enough! I'm sick of looking and feeling like this".
I'm hoping that meeting others who are motivated and committed will help me find the encouragement and confidence in myself to lose the weight.
