I don't even know where to start. I have been overweight for many years now.. almost 10 to be exact. I always lose 10-15 pounds but then fall way off track and then gain it all back. I am presently at the heaviest I have ever been and know that for my health I need to gain control again. I find myself feeling exhausted alot, short of breath from doing the simplest things and my depression is not helping any.
I have always been an emotional eater.. I literally eat till I feel numb. Because of this I generally try to stay positive and in a good mood. However these last few months have been the worst of my life and I dont see things getting better anytime soon. My mom is in the final stages of a long battle with AIDS and although our relationship has always been a rocky one seeing her in her condition is enough to have me crying on an almost daily basis. I also have other family issues that have me stressed and my support system unfortunately is not that great.
So I am hoping that through this forum I can find a little bit of extra support to get me moving on the right track. I live in an area where there is all sorts of fresh produce and am headed out this weekend to restock the house with healthier food. I am also going to start walking again and am hoping to join a local gym in the next few weeks.
Thanks for reading
