Hi, I'm new here even though I made this account a while ago but I want to actually start using it. My name is Misty I'm 21 years old, I'm engaged and a mom of a 1 year old. I've been overweight since late Elementary school and began dealing with chronic illness, to name a few sleep apnea, gerd, arthritis, depression, anxiety, insomnia, anemia and more. I also suspect I may have a few other conditions but have not been diagnosed which are bpd, autism, pcos, and mcas. I've suspected these for quite a long time and show a lot of the symptoms. I am currently trying to lose weight as I am severely obese and now dealing with amenorrhea (many other issues caused by my weight as well). I've gained 50 extra pounds since my son was born and normal everyday activities are much harder for me and even just moving and getting around my house feel hard now. It is a constant daily struggle. I am working to eat healthier and lose this weight to be healthier and happier for myself and my family. I don't want things to be hard anymore. I want to enjoy the things I used to enjoy. This past week I've significantly increased my vegetable intake so that's a huge step in the right direction. It's a small win I am proud of and so happy I am doing this for myself. I'm also super passionate about social issues, human rights and the environment 🌱♻️ and I love anime and photography. So yeah that's a little about me, I hope I can fit in here
