ok so here i go....

im 30 years old and until 3 years ago i had always been a healty 10stone. my weight has crept up and up over the last 3 years and this morning im 13stone 11lbs.
none of my clothes fit , im misrable and depressed and i want my life back.
im happily married to a wonderful guy who loves me just the way i am but im not happy with me so i need to change
i avoid going out with my friends and i spend my life binge eating comfort food when im bored upset or just because its there.
im on my feet at work all day but i dont do any regular exercise.
we want a family one day and i want to be fit and healthy to maybe carry a child one day.

anyway i plan on keeping a food diary and hope to make friends on here t help keep me motivated:grouphug:
 
we have a lot in common-
I've never been "fat" but have gained 15 lbs in the last 6mths at my new job. I'm resorting to eating when not hungry, bored, or stressed (the biggie) and I'm disgusted with myself. I'm a 38yr old mother of 2 perfect boys and my husband is the most emotionally supportive man I know. In fact, yesterday when I told him I needed him to take before pics of me he had a different idea then my posting them here (if you know what I mean) He thinks I'm perfect (ugghh the pressure) and doesn't know why I feel so upset with myself. It is the hardest thing to overcome: our body image. I've always been fit, in fact 2 yrs ago was running 6mi a day and competing in 10Ks regularly. Now I can't run a mile without dying. I've started back up in the last 2 weeks and realize I have a LONNNNGGGGG way to go before I reach my old level of fitness-very discouraging but I've decided to commit. That's partly why I joined this forum and because of that I've met you, and it makes me feel less "alone". Even though I'm in the States it's so nice to know there are others struggling and fighting to get their lives back!!!

Thank you for sharing your story.
