New to the community but not the struggle

hello everyone. I am trying (for a third time) to make and maintain my goal weight. I used to be super athletic when I was in high school. Then just basically stopped after I went through a pretty dark period. I feel better mentally now and am ready to feel better physically. I never bothered with scales and all of a sudden (ha) I gained over 100lbs. I finally looked at a scale awhile ago and was so ashamed when I saw 310. However, I decided to do something about it instead of playing the victim. I am here for support and looking for the same. The more people involved the easier this becomes. We are not alone.

A few weeks ago I weighed myself. I knew I gained a lot of weight, because I've been told I looked "bigger" in the face which kind of hurt. I have always had a good figure never was chubby, as a teen. I let myself go and its no ones fault, but my own.So I understand how you feel.

Ya it always hurts when you start getting those comments. I went out for drinks with a friend I haven't seen in a few years and the whole night all he could talk about was how much weight I had gained. Not a good night
