in Motivation and Support
Hi, I’m Adriana :) I’m trying to lose 80 lbs. I’m looking to add people that are active on MFP. MFP has helped me get through Binge Eating Disorder, and that’s been largely because of the the support network it provides.

More about me: I’m 28 years old, I am a mom to an 8 year old girl, I have an amazingly supportive boyfriend, and I have bipolar disorder, social anxiety, (currently trying to fight my way out of) depression, I’m lactose intolerant and have PCOS. I also went through postpartum psychosis when I was pregnant.

I try to stay positive but I don’t ignore it when I feel bad. I think it’s important to be honest with yourself and deal with your emotions as they come up.

I’m running a 5K on April 1 and I’m more motivated than ever to accomplish this! It’s my first 5k. I want to share my journey as much as I can. Add me if you like, I hope we become friends! :)

    Hi Andrea I started my running journey 8 weeks ago and loving it I ran my first 5k 2 Weeks ago now I'm slowly adding distance. You can do it no problem! You sound alot like myself. I'm 27 and mum to a 2 year old I also have a problem binge eating and can I just say running has reduced mumy anxiety levels and I'm feeling better than ever. (Also suffer from depression) I get such a buzz wish I'd started sooner! I'll add you :)
