My name is Ash. I am 22. I am from Toronto. I am the mother of a wonderful 3 year old boy. He is special needs.
I myself, have recently been diagnosed with Scoliosis, Chondromalasia Patella, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatism, Anxiety and Depression.
I was on medication but was taken off due to weight gain.
A little background info is a good place to start....
Most of my teenage life I weighed about 140 - 150lbs. I was considered the chubby one in my circle of friends. My family never talked about health. Did not teach me the skills to be fit. No encouragement at all.
At 19 I was pregnant and peaked at 181lbs the day I gave birth to my baby boy. Jan.28.2010
In October of 2010 I weighed 157lbs... Not too bad at all.
Now February 2013 I am the heaviest I have ever been at 194lbs.
I sicken myself. I barely fit in any of my wardrobe. I make excuses. I am SCARED.
Worst of all, it is affecting my relationship with my boyfriend.. and it is not pretty when we start talking about MY health or weight.....
I just don't have anyone to talk to. I need friends (which I do not have atm).
I am stressed. I have a lot on my plate. I have a child to care for 24/7 and my body is my worst enemy with all these darn conditions... How am I supposed to get better when my body and life contradict all the basic instructions for getting fit??
Please. I really need a friend.
