I'm a chef, sugar/food addict, and my thyroid is low functioning. I try so hard to restrict and exercise lots, but I get discouraged at the lack of results and triggered at work...and end up flying off the rails. Also, I'm very isolated with virtually no support or accountability. Worst of all, because I've been struggling so much the last year or two, I can't even believe it's possible for me to lose the weight I gained from overeating (again) and keep it off for more than an hour. It's only 10-15 pounds I keep taking off and putting on, but it's demoralizing and feels like it might as well be a million pounds. Maybe I'd prefer that so then at least people wouldn't minimize my pain all the time. I don't feel good about myself and there's no improvement now since I returned from Europe (where I gained of course) in early July. I don't want to date or go anywhere. I don't want to be photographed or seen. I don't want to look in the mirror. I would love prayers, accountability buddies, random encouragement, or a hug.

    You can add me if you want. I did roller coaster weight loss for years and years until finding this site/group.
