in Introduce Yourself
Hello.
I've been trying to get myself out of a misery hole for over a year now. I was working in a place that was badly run and highly stressful and I was with a man I thought had my best interests at heart but actually just made me feel awful about myself. Both of those things are gone now and I feel really positive and motivated to get back to a size that feels like me! I've been on here for so long but never used the message boards as I only tried out the iphone app... this is what's going to make the difference I think.

Anyone care to offer support or needs a 'friend' please do get in touch as I could do with sharing this journey with other people on the same path...

    It will make a difference and if you need support all you have to do is log on. As for your friend take it as a lesson learned.
    Good luck on your journey and don't get discouraged. You are in control of your life no one else.

    I am sorry to hear about all that you had to endure (stressful job, and disrespectful man), but today is a new day, time to smile, and get back to you. My journey is very close to yours. I am doing this to find myself (the person I've lost a long time ago. I can't expect anyone to love me if I can't first love myself. We can and will make it happen.

    OMG it is so hard to look after yourself when there is so much CRAP going on in your life, lol. I know that WELL. Someone once told me, "Life is full of anchors, cut loose the ones dragging you down and sail free."

    I'm sailing! You will be too. Good luck on your journey. Friend me if you need support. :)

    I can relate to the stressful job you dislike I'm going through something similar but can't get out because I'm the breadwinner at the moment. You're gonna do brilliantly now your free. Feel free to add me as a friend as I need as much support and motivation also, only joined this week so got a long way to go :smile:
