ok a little about me 
Hi Im not really new… I have had this account for sometime, I do consider myself new because I am finally utilizing this site and taking active steps to reaching my goals!! I am 23 years old and a mother to a 2 year old… I have always been a thicker girl, never really “fat’ until I became pregnant. I was big as a house!! But I was happy My son’s father passed away recently, and with that loss I spun into a deep depression… I went down about 60 or 70 lbs.. i could not eat or sleep. I was very slim.. I have been in therapy for sometime and of course my eating habits went from non existent to there; the thing is I had been placed on an anti-depressant that caused me to eat like there was no tommorrow. So I shot back up to the 200’s and 230 is the highest I’ve been since my loss. I have discontinued my meds and take it day by day.. I am more spiritual and I am staying strong for me and my beautiful son. I might even put a pic of him on here if I become more comfortable w. the site, & feel thats not too personal… I am working on a better me and if any of you have experienced a loss you would know you never really get over it, and its very hard being a single mother. But not impossible! I am on a self-love journey and taking active steps to reach a point in my life where I can enjoy “peace of mind†and have the the mindset of those who truly have “no regretsâ€. I STRIVE to find that happiness one day…
Well thank u for reading lol! If you read this much about me and if you would like to travel with me on my weight loss journey please do send a request! We can feed off of each other and I am looking for the support of others so we can do this together thanx!

I am so sorry for the loss of your child's father. That is so incredibly sad. I think you are a strong woman who has found the power to wake up everyday and make the best of it. Your baby needs the best mother he can have. Getting healthy is a wonderful start.0

Your story completely breaks my heart, hugs to you and your son. Your story hits very close to home and I know the pain you have/are going through. I too lost my first husband and father of my first child at a little older than you are now.......24. Please feel free to add me.0 -
I think you are way stronger than you realize and I'd love to be your "friend" and witness your self-discovery~!0

I think this is so cool. I am looking for friends that I can be accountable to. I am 60+ pounds over weight. I get half way to my goal then I gain them all back. The people around me love me the way that I am, but I want to be healthy. My husband loves me just the way I am, but we are going to start having a family this summer. I do not want to add weight to my already 216 lb body.
I was a size 6 when my grandmother passed 21 years ago. After her death, I had to change school and the weight came on. I went from a size 9 at that point to a size 16. My first day back at school in the 8th grade, a girl yelled in front of everyone, "Athena, you got fat".
My weakness is sweets and I do not know how that came about. I guess it was already there, but I want to be healthy- no more big girl.0 -
