Hi Everyone,
I'm new here. I used mfp years ago to lose weight but got obsessive...I then found the body positivity community which I loved but somehow lost myself along the way!
I have since put on about a stone and a half and an officially 'overweight' and have also got fibromyalgia and anxiety.
I really want to get down to a healthy BMI and ease my fibro and anxiety symptoms.
I would love any advice and some friends on this journey!
Thanks for reading 💓
