Starting fresh ...yet again. Greeting from Ontario Canada

  • Hi everyone.....Im Tanya. Im not really sure where to begin or what to say but will try to start from the begining.
    About 7 years ago I hit the 300 pound mark and new at the age of 29 I had to do something about this. I decided to give the Atkins diet a whirl and low and friggen behold it worked......I lost 160 pounds. Now I am not putting the Tkins diet down at all so no one get me wrong cause Im placing the blame of what happened next on my own genetics. I have an addictive personality by nature and strive to do better and better at things that I start. Anyway long story short I ended up with an eating disorder which I now have somewhat under control but have also regained some of the weight that I lost and I feel miserable. I really want to get off this roller coaster and yo yo dieting once and for all but mainly I want to be comfortable in my own skin.
    Low self esteem has plagued me for years and I am tired of feeling alone with the battle of the bulge.
    I decided to join up here to get some much needed support and to give whatever support I can offer to people as well!
    Thanks for reading
