in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I'm Cheryl. New to Myfitnesspal, but not new to fitness. Back in highschool I ran track and was in the best shape of my life until about the age of 23. Unfortunately, dealing with depression and loss of self-esteem has put me in a position where I hardly recognize myself anymore. I'm 28 now and would like to take back those years that depression has stolen from me. I'm ready to fit into those skinny jeans again that have been collecting dust in my closet!

    I truly understand where you are! I was athletic in high school/ college and to make a long story short, I battled depression, tragedy and an unstable self-esteem... low & behold, I found myself in an unrecognizable state (on a lot of fronts). A lot has contributed to my rising out of my pit, as I refer to it, and one of those things has been MFP. The support can sometimes keep you going when you can't find that strength and that can make all the difference.

    I am excited that you are here and would love to support you any way I can (send me a friend request if you'd like)!
    All the best,
    Amy
