Hey all. I'm new here and desperate to lose weight. I've been struggling with my weight for a few years now and it's starting to wear on my mind. My life is very hectic and stressful and I have no balance in my world as a single parent. The only adults I talk to regularly are the people I meet at the facilities that I work at. I work at different nursing homes in a different state and aside from my 2 coworkers who barely speak to me I have no social life. My taste buds have become my only ally in a battle of depression. So, here I am online looking for the friends and support that real life fails to provide. This seems to be my last hope. I can only try to make this work and so far life is kicking my *kitten*.

    Hi Effie!

    I struggle with depression, too.

    Can I add you to my friend's list?

    Keep ur head up boo! Your story was created to strengthen you and help somebody else that isn't as strong as you are! Don't count yourself out! If u were weak u wouldn't have made it this far! You know it took some fighting! And you're still here! So knuckle up girlfriends and lets do this thing!
