    I'm getting ready to move back to California this summer (I went to grad school at UC Irvine and will be moving to Monterey). That's not much help to you in Texas, but feel free to add me :)

    Last year I was going through the exact same thing. We moved from West Virginia to North Carolina for my husband's work. I didn't have a job, friends, or family. I started getting really depressed. I ended up gaining about 30 lbs and didn't ever want to get out of bed.

    I downloaded the Meetup App and started going groups that seemed interesting. I meet a group of people every Thursday night for coffee and crochet. It has gotten me out of my slump enough that I started working out and eating better. I'm down. Almost 18 lbs in the last 6 weeks.

    It gets better. Just put yourself out there and it will be fine.

    That's crazy - my husband and I just moved from WV to NC last year for work too! We have no friends or family in the area so it's been really tough - and with that came some weight gain.
    You're definitely not alone!
