Hello Everyone!
I am new to this, and I hope this is something that I am looking for. I am looking to make friends/support that are going through the same thing I am. I am currently 26 years old and I just weighed myself at 357lbs. This came to a shock to me since the last time I weighed myself was in July and I was still at 350. I have always had issues with my weight but I have always been fairly active until recently when I have noticed this weight is damaging my body. I put on a lot of weight during both of my pregnancies and I never lost really any of it. I do not eat a lot at meal time, but I guess you could say I am a sweet addict. Anything sweet, Im there. When I get depressed or down I tend to eat, and considering the past year of my life has been very stressful and hectic, I continued to put on the weight after I gave birth in Nov. 2009. I was just recently diagnosed with depression so at least thats being taken care of, its just for me its so hard to lose this weight. I feel like I am at my end with it because I am encountering so many health problems because of it. I have a pinched sciatic nerve in my back and the weight is adding pressure to it, I have gained a heal spur which is probably due to the weight. I have two small children and I want to be able to run with them outside but I am unable to. Anyone have any ideas on where to begin?
