I need to face it. I will always be a person who has to be aware of what they eat. I have so many friends who can eat whatever they want, and not gain an ounce. Well, I'm not one of the lucky ones.

2 years ago I was a slim 135. I was told I was "too thin". 3 years before that I weighed right around 200lbs.

Here I am again... I weigh 179. I want to be 145-150 by my brother's wedding this fall.

My dilemma is that I either over eat, or don't eat enough and starve myself to an unhealthy point.

My obstacles are depression (which triggers binge eating), PCOS and recently diagnosed hypothyroid.

It's a huge step for me to come here and be honest with everyone, but especially myself.

I need help! And I am eager to start this journey once again (and hopefully permanently). I look forward to meeting you all and hearing about your hard work too.

Spangled! You may want to check out the "Depression and Weight Issues" forum, as well as the "Dieting with Obstacles" forum which has a PCOS subforum. This is a great place for support! I wish you the best!

I'm right there with you Spangled! 2 years ago I was a die South Beacher an was down to 135 and loving it. I also happen to be a workaholic, so after a promotion I lost control of the whole thing. Lots of stress eating/drinking and shoving the exercise to the side. I am constantly physically/emotionally exhausted. My current status: 174 lbs and Day 1 of the 21 day fix.

I also have my best friends wedding this October. Wishing you the best of luck! We can do this!!!
