Hi there my name is Laura I'm 27 years old and live in Bradford England with my husband of 5 years. I suffer from depression anxiety and panic attacks and my binge eating got out of control last year when I suffered 3 miscarriages in one year. Twins at 10 and 13 weeks. And then again in the November. It turned my whole world upside down because I am desperate for a baby and to feel like a proper family. I turned to food for comfort and now I cant stop. I feel that guilty about what I eat that I hide food from my husband and skip meals when I have eaten something bad. No I don't know what to do. I started to do better. then it comes to this time of the year when we was pregnant and I cant cope, went back to the doctors and got signed off work I feel useless and horrible. then my sister is getting married next may I was supposed to be maid of honour which I was looking foreword to then my sister brought a dress without me trying it on and it was too small when I told her she called me fat and now we have fallen out and I am not attending the wedding.

I feel so much pressure and since then I have been eating lots of crap drinking fizzy drinks eating take out and put 3lbs on. I have my dairy as private and although I don't go over on my calories what I eat is so not good for me. My husband works nights so I spend a lot of time on my own. I feel helpless. I am in desperate need of help. Help to lose weight and help to stop using food as a crutch. I am currently on a waiting list to see a counsellor, I need to start my journey now as I don't know how long I will be waiting. 2013 has been such a waste I have spent so much of it sad depressed and crying. I need 2014 to be my year, my year to be happy my year to be healthy and more importantly my year to have a baby.

Please help me on my journey your help and support would be so much appreciated.

Thank you Laura xxx

    Hi Laura, I am so sorry you've had such a hard year! I hope you will find support through the MFP community. I had gained 45 pounds because of pregnancies and health issues. I started having panic attacks, and was in the doctor's office every week. Once I changed my lifestyle through diet, exercise, drinking water, ect. I was able to shed the extra weight. I haven't had trouble with anxiety attacks or any major health concerns since! I think you have taken the first step by just wanting a change. That was huge for me. Once you want it, you will do what you have to do to reach your goals.

    I know you can be healthy and feel good again. Please feel free to add me as a friend!

    P.S. Has your doctor checked you progesterone levels? My cousin had many miscarriages before they checked hers, and after they gave her progesterone she was able to carry her babies to term. Maybe that could help you, too.
