Default Hello From The UK

Hello everyone

My names Samantha, i'm 38 years young!! and i live in the West Midlands, UK.
For a long long time i have been on a downward spiral and gained a lot of weight. I have been overweight since the age of 6 and apart from some weight loss in my teens have been gaining since then. I fell very ill in my 30's with depression and i also have OCD, Socialphobia, Anxiety & IBS. All of these contributed to more weight gain and my physical health as also gotten worse. I am now diabetic, high cholestrol and the last doctor appointment my blood pressure was not too good. I think i have finally woken up and smelt the coffee!! We lost our father and mother recently aswell, our father in 2009 and our mother in 2011, it's been such a difficult time. I live with my brother Graham, he's a bachelor and i'm a bachelourette lol. I want to be healthy and fit and around for my brother and our family for a long time and this is one of the main things why i am so determined to do it this time. I want to be around for them and i would like to feel better in myself aswell, i have zero confidence and i hardly leave the house. I think it's time for a new beginning I want to wish everyone luck on their journey's too. I have seen some amazingly inspiring people on this forum, there are a lot of stories out there to motivate us. Good luck everyone ♥

Sam xxx

Welcome! You can do this! And I strongly believe healthy eating and exercise are a great "treatment" for anxiety and depression.
