Hi everyone, feel so blessed to have found this site....... I've struggled with weight all my life. I have been on every diet, tried meds etc, but always managed to gain it all back..Last year my daughter was diagnose with ASD and that sent my emotional eating into overdrive...I gained 75lbs in 10 months. I hope to get the strength to get healthy and lose weight in the process. I thank you all for being so open and supportive.... I fell like I've found a home....
