3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Hi all I am looking for some support. I have had weight issues since I was a child. My parents always laughed and told me how I was born with rolls of fat. When I was 12 years old I was over weight I weighed around 160 and was about 4'8. In more recent years I have been healthier from when I was around 14 I lost the weight and was down to about 115 at 5'2. In the last few years I had gone up to about 120 and I still felt fine and good about myself. I recently got laid off from my job, and a few days after that I became terribly ill and could not exercise. I now weigh about 130, when I went to try on my shorts from last year I could hardly get them over my thighs and I couldn't button them. This was still really extremely upsetting to me I cried after I tried them on. I don't feel like I have anyone to talk to about it either. I am hoping to get back on track with exercising and eating better and lose 5 or 10lbs. The other kids were so cruel to me when I was young and I have fears of something like that happening again. I guess I am just hoping to find someone to talk to who feels similarly or who can understand how I feel.
