My Name is Jessica and I am 33. I have a teenage son. single mom. I am an Artist and a designer. i live in Oregon and work for myself. I just quit smoking cigarettes two months ago after 15 years!! i have been pretty sedentary for the last 10 years or so gaining weight slowly every year. now i weigh as much as i did 9 months pregnant !210lbs. I have struggled with deep depression and low self worth my whole life and this has not helped my weight gain. I have never dieted before or even really attempted to loose weight, just hated my body, without feeling like i had any control to change it. I am ready to change so many things about my life and looking for friends here who are looking for the same. I love eating healthy organic food, but binge on junk. I am addicted to sugar, and i love chocolate... but im done with the junk food binges! i started working out the same week i quit smoking, didnt really loose any weight yet but have improved my well being so much... i love clocking my food intake on MFP it helps so much. thanks for taking time to read this, and blessings on your personal journey to better heath and well being Jess
