Introducing myself

Hi I'm Care, that's my nickname and it's one I use everyday. I'm a 36 year old woman with mental issues and emotional ones that add to my bad eating habits. Over the last two years I've gained over 150 lbs because of some medication and my bad eating habits along with my stress and emotional eating.

I'm the aunt of 7 wonderful kids ranging in the age of 14 to 2. I enjoy doing things with them but at my current weight I'm kind of stuck in a shell that I can't get out of. I've always been a heavier woman ever since I was 12. I hit puberty and things kind of went haywire. I'm never going to be smaller but I don't really want to be smaller I want to weigh less and be healthier. I'm severally overweight and having joint issues.

Some things I want to be able to do is eat better and cleaner along with losing some of the weight that plagues me. I want to be able to do things I used to do. Like get to the floor without being scared I won't be able to get back up or even garden with my mom as I live with my parents, mostly because of my mental issues. Or even play with the kids without losing my breathe.

My one big vice is Soda, Pop, Pepsi to be specific. It's hard to cut something out of your life when it's a constant in the house as mom drinks a lot of it too. And then there is size portions that I have issue with. I'm trying to cut back to a few more smaller meals instead of large ones. So between getting healthy mental wise as I take two different medications for mood disorders, and deep depression and I have to eat with my pills at with dinner. So I'm looking for support as I don't have the support of the community. As I'm not a social person, but I do have the support of my parents and sister.

Thank you!
Care.
