New and hoping for change.
 

Hi there. I'm new to 3FC. Seen it before but never joined until now.

My name is Sarah. I'm a Realtor and investor in San Diego, CA. I just got married last September and we are very happy. No kids yet.

I have fibromyalgia, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, a very high risk of cancer due to the BRCA2 gene mutation and a bunch of other medical problems. I am always getting infections, always fatigued, etc. I have dealt with depression a lot in the past and through I'm no longer on any meds, I still have rough days.

I am here because my moods, my stress has driven me to overeat. I want to lose around 15 lbs which I know isn't too drastic yet I've been trying for about 8 months to do so and nothing...

I used to be a runner when I was young...then i tore my hamstring and got RSD. I was in a wheelchair and bedrest for a long time. I have pain in my legs most of the time now (though no injury, its a nerve problem) but I workout an hour every day in order to keep my legs working properly, as recommended by my doctor. For me the exercise is always going to be in the picture. It's my eating habits I need discipline with.

I know what to do, I think most of us do. I just need some encouragement and support along the way.

THANK YOU!

Hey Sarah. Welcome to 3FC. You are gonna love it here. So many nice people and much much support. For overeating etc you should look at the Chicks in control forum thingy. It's very inspirational.

Best of luck in losing those pounds. I'm sure you can do it!

Welcome welcome. :)

I look forward to seeing your progress. :hug:

Hi and welcome to 3FC.

Good luck with your goals.

Hugs

Welcome Sarah, yup that eating is hard. I'm with you there, but with some wonderful support around here, maybe it can be easier.

You already must be a very determined lady to go through all of that and still be positive so eating more balanced has got to be in the picture soon.

All the best.
