in Introduce Yourself
Hi all.

I have had success in the past with myfitnesspal... until my mom passed away and my depression and anxiety took over. Since then, I have tried a few times again, but just never been in the right mental place. To be honest, I am likely STILL not in the right mental place but I need to grow up and figure my *kitten* out.

My health is being severely impacted by my weight and diet. So I need to make a change.

I'm in my early 40's and live in the Chicago area. I could use some friends. Ones that will be there but will also be understanding that I am not perfect. Far from perfect actually.

    The first step is always the hardest. The realization that you need to take care of yourself. Caring for yourself will help your mental state. However don't be afraid of going to your doctor for help. I was stubborn for most of my life about handling depression 'naturally'. Eventually I came to the realization that being unhappy sucked and I could simply refuse. but I now take anxiety meds for other reasons and realize how much it could have helped long ago.

    You do not have to be perfect. Let the past be in the past, even if it is just yesterday. Each moment is a new opportunity. I wish you well.
