Uhm, hello. My name is Gaby and I'm 23. I live in the southeastern USA. I have an autoimmune disease that kept my weight lower for years, then I followed some really poor advice from a horrible physician and gained about 35 lbs through struggling to remain sedentary and eating super high calorie foods. I felt like crap, so I started going back to my old diet and losing weight and then bam! My husband and I found out I was pregnant with our first child. I got super sick super quick, put on bed rest to stop preterm labor and gained A LOT of weight. I've already lost just over 30lbs in the last 8 months since our daughter was born, but I still have a long way to go (about 55 more). My confidence is at an all time low and my health is deteriorating even more. So here I am, blabbing in a forum that's a far cry from my usual sci-fi and fantasy rpgs, looking for some other people seeking encouragement and better health.
