Default Good accidental find

Hi everyone,

I was looking for a weight loss ticker, and stumbled upon this site. Clearly, there is so much more to offer than just a ticker.

Anyway, I have had some health and personal issues over the last 5 months and have put on 20 pounds. I didn't even realize it was possible to gain that much in such a short amount of time.

I love to longboard and used to go a couple of times a week. I live near the beach and would skate along the boardwalk. Anyway, on August 18, I had a freak accident and tore some ligaments and got a small fracture in my knee. In addition to that, I started taking some meds that add weight.

I also lost my job, which was actually a God send. My husband had been begging me to quit for a year, as I was working constantly and we really don't need me to. My company laid off 3000 people, nationwide and I was one of them. I am now working on becoming a make up artist, which has been a dream of mine, for a long time, but I have been in the corporate world for 15 years.

I am rambling. I haven't really talked about my weight/health issues before. My husband, daughters and friends all tell me I look fine, but it's not true. They are being kind, so I need someplace to go that isn't just saying nice things because they love me.

I am looking forward to the support and supporting others.

If you have read all of this, thanks.

Sorry to hear about your accident and job. Sounds like you are ok with the job thing though. Good luck to you on your goals and welcome to the site!

Thank you for the welcome. Yes, the job thing is good. I just have to get used to it. I'm struggling with that a bit. I don't know what to do with myself.
