Hi everyone!

  • Newbie to the board here! Looking for some friendship & understanding here, especially from people to whom I'm not related!

    I lost about 120# last year, went from 300 to 180, in about 11 months. I was unemployed at the time, and suffering from a major depression & anxiety disorder (always a workaholic, never took time for my personal life). I took the opportunity to focus solely on my health, and it felt pretty good!

    But after I started working about a year ago, I fell back into my depression, and my anxiety kicked in harder than ever. After all the medications, stress, breakdowns, and a pretty bad car accident, my weight shot back up into the 200s very quickly.

    Basically, I've spent too much time isolating myself, and need to get some feedback & encouragement from other people who have been there. I'm hoping I can get that here?

    I know how to eat healthy, but I'm having a hard time accepting the fact that I am worthy of doing so! I can't eat dairy, except for yogurt, so a lot of pre-made plans don't really fit with me.

    Any suggestions, tips, words of encouragement, are completely welcome! I hope to meet some new friends here, and maybe even help other people who are going through similar circumstances.

    Happy Wednesday!

    Wow, congrats on the weight loss in the past, that is an incredible achievement. It just proves that you have what it takes to take control of your health. You are so absolutely completely worth it.

    YES! The carrot is adorable, my fave is the little cow. lol
  • Awesome you're going to do great here! You got on track before which just go to show you can do it again. I imagine most of us here has had weight fluctuations. Don't give up.
