I'm new

Options
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!
