Hey everyone, I'm new to this community and I'm hoping that by joining I will be doing myself some good.

I have about 100 pds to lose to get to my healthy weight, and I just got diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes on Friday (June 13, 2008) {as well as some fatty liver concerns}.

I have always fluctuated in my weight, but just under 2 years ago, I broke both my arms and was dependant for about 2 months. This sent my down into a depressive state that I was not able to get out of {i've also "dealt" with depression for quite some time now}. I ate the wrong things to try and make myself feel better and pass the time as I was stuck in the apt that I had just moved into 9 days before I broke.

anyways, up to date now: dealing with depression, diabetes, and weight loss as well as stress management (which more than manages me right now)

Hope to talk to you some soon. All the best to everyone with their goals.

Cheers! Ilysa

Hi there Ilysa!

You might want to check out our Diabetes support forum. We also have a forum for those struggling with depression or anxiety, so do seek that out (I read an interesting study today about how diabetes and depression tend to go hand-in-hand...you may want to talk to your doctor about it!).

We also have a great 100 lb club, for those with 100 lbs or more to lose.

Anyway, look around, find a spot or several in which to post, and get going. Can't wait to get to know you better!
