New and ready for a change
 

I’m a soon to be married 33 year old woman. I have as gained over 80 pounds over the last two years and I have never took the time to invest in myself.

I’ve never been thin, I was the round girl growing up and was teased by it. I experienced many traumatic events over the course of my young life molestation, death, abuse… and I never knew how mush those events played in the dependence I have on food. I eat when I’m happy, when I’m sad, when I’m mad, when I’m tired, when I’m frustrated… you get the picture.

I want a life now. I want to be healthy and I need support from people like me. People who understand that if I could change my behavior with a snap of the finger I would. People that can cheer with me when I make an accomplishments and encourage me when I get discouraged.

I look forward to being a part of this group. I need help. I need you all. I hope to hear from you.
