in Getting Started
About a year ago I weighed 140 & during this year I started to pick up bad habits like drinking soda and eating fast food. I now weigh about 185 and I feel like it just hit me suddenly. But I've always had a low self esteem and now that I've gained so much weight it's even lower. I'm looking for someone to mentor and guide me in the right direction because I'm new to the whole healthy eating thing, and it also helps to have someone who is knowledgeable there for me to talk to.

    Hi Kate!
    You are already on the right track being here and identifying the soda and fast food as foes. I log on daily and am in a similar boat. I was always fit then started slight yo yo'ing. Never more than 10 or so pounds. About 4 years ago I had a bad breakup and I just threw in the towel. I ate everything and did not work out. I put on a TON of weight. This year I decided enough was enough and I was not going to 'settle in' to a heavier weight. I'm going at a healthy pace, no crash diet or crazy work out plan...just steady diet and exercise. Feel free to add me, I would be happy to support your on your journey. (~:
