Hi, I'm Becky. I just turned 30 a few days ago and am not feeling to good about myself. This past year I've gained back 20 pounds of the 35 or so i had previously lost. I was feeling so great on my 29th birthday, I was the thinnest i'd ever been and feeling better than ever. Shortly after i found out i was getting laid off from my job of 9 years and kind of just lost ambition to eat right. I was depressed and stressed and worried and food is my medicine. Hence the 20 pounds.
But, I decided to go back to school full time and am getting into the routine and it's time i got control of my eating again. I'm taking a weight lifting class that's helping get the excersize in but i need major help controling my snacking.
I did it before and i can do it again, My first goal is to lose the 20 I've gained and then maybe another 10 or 15, to bring me down to around 150. The charts say i should weigh under 135 but i'm not even gonna think about that right now. 150 will be wonderful.

Wish me luck.
