Hey there! I tried to lose a lot of weight before and succeeded a year ago but after a traumatizing incident where my best friend committed suicide in college, my ex girlfriend and first love broke up, and a huge family crisis that resulted in losing my job i had since 2009 (everything happening recently), I went on a mental breakdown and had gained 50lbs from stress eating and depression.
I know it shouldn't be an excuse and I'm sorry if it sounds rather pathetic but from reading other posts, people are really kind and try to help each other. I wanted to be open and give it a shot, and become the person I was, or even better, after learning the experiences I did learn. I would like support along the way and make some new friends. Thank you for your time reading this!![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)
