Hi, my name is Lacy I’m in my mid twenties. I am a single mom to a four year old. Let me tell you I am not new to diets. I have been on and off then for 10 years. But I am new to changing my life to become a healthier me. Let me tell you a little about myself and my history. I have struggled with body image issues since I was 8 years old. I have also struggled with eating disorders (Binge eating and totally restriction). I have also struggled with depression and anxiety since I was 10 which is part of my eating disorders. I have had an unhealthy relationship with food for the past 16 years. I am finally mentally healthy enough that I can work on my physical health. I was an athlete from the time I was 10 until I was 21. ( I played softball year around) at the age of 16 I tore my acl and had to have knee surgery. That’s when I started to put on the weight. It’s been an uphill battle from there.... I started my journey about a week ago. The unhealthy thoughts are a constant struggle but I’m determined to keep them at bay. (Having to be perfect in my lifestyle(( keep within my calorie “limits” and exercise everyday)).) it would be amazing to find people on here to keep me accountable and motivated and of course I would do so as well in return.
