Hello everyone

jacmartin

My name is Jackie and I am 32 years old. I gained 50 pounds 5 years ago due to depression and emotional eating. I continue till this day to struggle. Well I have come to a plateau with my weight loss. Frustrated and tired somedays I just want to give up. Giving up would negativity impact my career and more importantly my health. My friend recommended this site and hopefully I will get over this obstacle.

Weight loss in my opinion is more about the mental than the physical... I have found that when my mind is right the weight is so much easier to loose. I found that once I took small steps to better my health physically I started to feel better mentally then physically. I've been fighting breast cancer the last two years.. I have a clean bill of health now. But I couldn't rap my mind around how my life had changed because of the cancer. My body seemed to hurt all the time and it was painful to exercise. So I just ate.. and ate..then I really started to feel bad emotionally so I knew something had to give. I started by walking and drinking water and then I started to talk to people about how I was feeling..! A friend of mind had success on this site so I decided to give it a try, this only my second day but it is exactly what I needed. The knowledge and support to help me do what I really need to do for me..if u need a partner in this we can talk about it, if not no worries you have made the first steps. Here's to feeling better in side and out : )
