Been here for awhile but forget to introduce

Hi everyone

I'm Cayla. I'm 33 almost 34 in a few weeks and I'm trying to stay committed to my weight loss goals for once and for all. I joined MFP back in June but wasn't successful at all and wound up deleting that account because I got discouraged. But my I know my health is really important so I decided to try again and really put my heart into it. I'm 5'2" and 175 lbs. I would love to get back down to around 140 (130 would be great but heck so would 150 lol). I gained about 45 lbs after being unemployed and going through a really bad breakup in which food became my bff. So now I'm employed again, i'm in love again but i'm still overweight so I want to change that. I would love to make new friends here and go on this journey together. I promise to support you guys as much as can.
