Anyway, I am new and have been having a hard year. I've gained about 60 pounds in 7 months due to depression and BED. I've always struggled with my weight but it has gotten really, extremely, disgustingly serious over the past few months. To make matters worse, I'm supposed to be getting married in a year. I honestly have no idea if I'm going to be 50 pounds heavier or 50 pounds lighter a year from now. It could go either way and it frightens me that I don't know for sure which way it'll go. My mind runs my life and I have realized that the chaos of the mind reflects in so many ways. For me, it's my weight. This is a do or die situation.
I am so excited to start talking with you all and learning how to not only physically be OK but also working towards mental exercises that have to do with chronic weight issues. I would love to hear from you all and I'm really really excited to get started on this journey!
Thanks for reading
I've only been here a few days, but already feel like this forum is a new support family. I hope you'll feel that way too. Soon!! ♥ The mind is a powerful thing and it's hard to overcome those bad thoughts that plague us. Make a decision now to eat better with each meal from now up to the wedding. Even if you don't lose a full 50 lbs by then you won't have failed because you made a positive change in your life. ♥
I'm glad you posted and that you're here! I find this place to be a great source of support, information and inspiration and I think you will too. 
Good job 
The info here is top notch and people are nice here. I hope you find it as helpful as I have so far!
