I'm new

edited September 2024 in Introduce Yourself
I was introduced to this site by a friend. I have gained 20 lbs from being depressed. It all went to my belly. I feel very unattractive and like a man, instead of the woman I am. I am hoping that keeping track of what I eat will help me get back to the old me. I've taken steps to improve the rest of my life, so I guess it's time to start tackling this extra weight I am carrying around. 20 pounds seems like a mountain to me. So I am glad to be a part of a group of people who share my struggle.

Best of luck to all of you who are on this journey!

It is hard to lose weight and just remember to take it one day at a time,one step at a time. And I am sure you will find many friends here to support you. Feel free to add me,Im always looking for friends and support and I'd be happy to support you. Have a great week, Elaine
