Smile I am new and introducing myself
Hi everyone. I am new to this site and I am a fat chick that is on a diet... doctor's orders.

I have depression, diabetes, high blood pressure and lymphedema. Tomorrow I start byetta to curb my appetite. GOAL: 100#'s by my birthday.

I have a significant other and a son over 30. I work in New Jersey (and would love a weight-loss buddy).

I have a lot on my "plate" now. Work is moving to a new address DOWNTOWN Trenton (and I am scared of change). Weight loss. Eons of doctor appointments and in a week I start lyphedema wrappings. I am just afraid of my demons of defeat.

Thank you everyone. I am,

Respectfully,
Pearlhanna

PS I prepared for this weight loss adventure. I bought some diet snacks, a big bag of carrots and celery.

Hey Pearlhanna -

Sounds like you're off to a good start! We have a ton of forums here...Dieting with Diabetes, the 100 lb club, and all kinds of forums by eating plan, age range, etc. So look around.

Find a spot, settle in, and get to posting. Can't wait to get to know you better!

Hi Pearlhanna, I too have suffered from depression and morbid obesity...well actually I'm still technically obese. If there is ever a time you need some encouragement, or just want to bs, please pm me. It is a LONG road, but your goals are not unreachable. Just remember, sometimes it gets worse before it gets better....but it does get better. Oh, and get something good to eat!!! One cannot live on carrots and celery alone!
