New here and need some support
At the moment I am 213 lbs.! How did that happen? Apparently I am a major stress eater. In the past 10 years I've gained 43 lbs. and in these past 10 years I have gotten married, moved 1500 miles away from all friends and family, had baby #1 and #2 (within the first 2 years) I live with my horrible mother in law who resents me, found evidence my husband is seeking out online escorts and my beloved black lab had to be put down.
I know, why don't I leave my husband and move, right? First, can't afford to move, second I really don't believe in divorce. But that's not why I'm here. I am hoping to connect with others for support to lose this weight and feel good about myself again. I have a bad habit of putting everyone else first and by the end of the day I am too exhausted and depressed to take time for me. I guess I should add that I have fibromyalgia and although I have a high tolerance for the pain, the fatigue kicks my butt.
I homeschool my 2 children and we now have 2 new puppies that require constant supervision if you know what I mean. I am lucky that I do not have to work outside the home. My husband's job involves a lot of travel so he's gone a lot ( not such a bad thing) I just wish he could take his mother ( who doesn't speak English) with him lol.
Well that's pretty much my life right now. I've lurked on this site for a while and see how y'all support each other and never judge - would love to have some of that. Thanks for listening.
