Hello from VA

dmbaiken

Hi everyone, I have had an extremely upheaveled year and my body is a HUGE reminder of it. Thanks to loosing my house, having my husband ask for a seperation and being thrust into single working motherhood and dealing with all the constant marital issues, being screwed by my former job and developing hypothyroid ilness I have gained about 40 lbs in 12 months. I have made some positive changes with a new job and I've been able to wrap my head around whats going on in my marital life. I just need to put my health and weightloss as a #1 priority now if I want to be successful in other areas in my life. I feel so scattered and I just want to end that feeling and regaining control of my body is the first step. What I hope to get from MFP is a way to hold myself accountable and to get encouragement and support. WOO-HOO GO ME!!!

Welcome:flowerforyou:

I'm sorry to hear about all that you are going through. I have just gone through a similar experience (ie, divorce (very nasty) new job, new home, irritable bowel syndrome diagnosis, and weight gain). If you ever need to talk I as well as all the supportive people on MFP are here for you.

If sounds like you are headed in the right direction to get through this... focus on your needs and take care of yourself through this.

Good luck and Welcome:flowerforyou:

Hi,
Just joined today, Been slowly getting my life back together. 5 years ago I went thru a breast cancer scare and major surgery right after my Wedding and another surgery. Seperated 1 year after wedding and took another year to get a divorce. Raising 2 teenager with no support and started a whole new career at 42. Well as you can tell that help put on 50 lbs to a already overweight frame. My uncle started a program like this and lost 75 lbs so I decided why not me. So here goes nothing and everything all at once:blushing:
