Hi there :)
 

Hiya. I'm Rachelle, I'm 27 and married. I'm 5'4" (and a half, but who's counting? :P) and currently 170lbs.

It feels really weird to be this weight. I was really thin my entire life, about 110lbs usually. I put on so much weight the past 2 yrs because of stress. I have bipolar disorder and PTSD, and various chronic pain issues (interstitial cystitis, scoliosis, etc) 2 years ago I suffered from a literal psychotic break and was hospitalized. I've been hospitalized two more times after that.

I couldn't work, couldn't leave the house, and my body has suffered. I find it a real challenge to exercise as it makes my pain so much worse but I can't look like this anymore. I don't feel like me.

My goal for now is about 130, as I don't know if I'd be able to reach the weight I was when I was 19 anymore. I felt really comfortable at 115/120 though so we will see!

Looking forward to getting to know everyone :smug:

:welcome: :goodluck: with your efforts!!
