in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone!

I have decided to introduce myself here, hopefully make some friends and find motivators, as well as be one for others too. My name is Amber, I am 31 and I have spent years killing myself with non-activity and food. I have had many doctors tell me to lose weight or I would be in an early grave. I didn’t care. I wanted to die anyways. Depression, severe anxiety, PTSD, and OCD all haunted me. I wasn’t living anyways. But I have two kids. And they need a mom. My kids have saved me over and over, but this time I am saving myself for me.

    Hi there. Seems like you and I are in the same boat. Life is hard and much harder with mental ailments. Hopefully you will find the support you need on here to start your "new you" journey. Im looking for some as well. :)

    Hey friend. I am 42, 4 kids, and I also suffer from the above mentioned. My kiddos are my salvation as well. I'm on day 3 and feeling better by the day. Let's do this together..

    Good luck with everything...intermittent fasting has worked wonders for me...I looked at videos on YouTube to educate myself before I started. You will get hungry during the fasted state but it comes and goes pretty quick if you drink water and ignore it. Give it a try...its so easy!!! <3
