in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone, my name is Tracey and I live in Southwestern, ON Canada with my husband. About 9yrs ago I lost 105lbs with Weight Watchers. A few months after reaching my goal(and becoming a WW lifetime member), I was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure and was told I would never have children of my own. It was devastating! I became depressed and grieved for a long, long time and eventually all that weight creeped back on. :( I don't want to blame all the weight gain on that, but I know it had a lot to do with it...food is comforting to me! I love my "treats"! I felt horrible that I gained all the weight back and then that made me even more depressed. A sad, vicious cycle...that is now ending! I want to be happy and healthy again and most importantly get back my self esteem and confidence I used to have. I haven't stepped on the scale yet, but I am on Day 8 of following MFP! Yah me!
Looking forward to browsing the boards more and reading some of your inspirational stories.

    Oh my...aren't ovaries the stupidest things ever? I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and was told by Dr. Compassion at the age of 15 Id never have children and oh by the way you're fat too lose some weight. :explode: I totally sympathise with what you're going through so feel free to friend me, I too have come back to mfp after years of WW, had to give that up to spend money instead on finally getting my university degree, couldn't afford both. The more friends the merrier! :flowerforyou:
