Hello! My name is Heather, and I was on the forums for a bit before allowing depression to get the best of me and disappeared. I have since sadly gained back a majority of the weight I had lost when I first joined.

Last May I ended up moving away from my friends, and family and in with my soul mate. His family has been very welcoming to me, and that is wonderful but I fell into a great depression. I faked a smile, and ate. So here I am trying now to get back in shape, and for good.

I want to do the DirtyGirl 5k run next February in Las Vegas, and really could use some friends!! I don't doubt that throughout my struggle I will fall down, and want to quit but I hope that I can come on here, rant instead of turning to Costco muffins, or some other junk food to soothe me.

Thanks for reading!

Welcome back! I'm sorry you went through a rough patch but I'm glad you're back on here. We all have those moments where we stumble and fall but the important thing is not giving up. There's a ton of people here that can help when you stumble and I'd be glad to do what I can! Good luck! You can do it!

Thank you! =)

I was hesitant to come back, but glad I did.

Welcome back! I've gained back some of the weight I've lost too - it sucks!

I've dealt with depression in the past too, and it's hard.

I think it's great that you have a goal to do the DG 5k next year!
