in Introduce Yourself
Hello all!

My name is Patito_ps and I have recently joined this website thanks to an app in my smartphone and I'm very happy with it!

To tell you sth about me: I gained most of my current weight due to my former job position, which lead me to a very stressy life hurtful in everypossible way.
In the first 3 months working there, I won 15kilos. The last day (1 year and 10 months later), I left the office with a mobbing charge against the company in one hand and 21 extra kilos in the other.
But, you now what? That last day was one of the happiest days of my life.

I just want to be myself again. I feel like if these last two years were completely wrong... I went from 49 Kilos-107Lbs, size 34 EU (6 UK / USA 2) to 70 kilos-154 Lbs, size 42 EU (14 UK / 10 USA)... This means that not only my skinny wardrobe is going to waste, but also my selfsteem. I feel like living with a fat stranger lady that gives me a heavy look when I look myself in the mirror...

Well.. this is me. I'd be glad to help and "be helped"... I'd love to make new friends and to join them in this adventure.

I am here if you ever need a hand...

Best,

Patito

Ps.: I am an argentinean living in Spain... english is not my mother tongue, but Im doing my best.... pls excuse any spelling/grammar mistakes!
