Need to lose weight for knee, back and self esteem

DianePK

Hi folks,
I am looking for friends to help me lose 20kg (40lb). I was in a very stressful job, and ate lollies for comfort, and ended up losing the job (not my fault, just a nasty culture that eroded my self esteem), and then as a result ate to alleviate my feelings of grief and rejection. So here I am, the heaviest I have ever been, looking for a job, feeling fat and old in a young person's market, so know I have to lose this weight to boost my self esteem again, get my hubbie's interest back, ease the pain on an injured knee and relieve pressure on my back after spinal surgery.

I pretty much had the worst year, starting with emergency spinal surgery, knee surgery a few months later, then selling my own business and car to pay for the surgery, then finding and losing a stressful job, now not being able to find a job over the holidays and being very poor.

I went from being highly successful to being unemployed in a few months and putting on weight as a result. I am determined 2015 is not going to be anything like 2014, I am going to get that dream job, lose excess kgs (lbs) and get my life back on track.

If anyone wants to share the journey with me, I'm here for support, venting and inspiration.
