Hi. I am new to this site, and I guess I just wanted to introduce myself and put a little bit of myself out here for whoever care to know to read.

My name is Autumn and I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. My senior year in high school, I lost about fifty pounds and I thought I was finally done fighting with my body. But I am an emotional eater who suffers from depression and handles stress poorly.

So my weight yo-yos. A lot. Now I am here. Because I am sick of cringing at my pictures and hiding from mirrors. I want to be proud to be me again and gain back my wardrobe.

That's my story - the super short, condensed version.

It's nice to meet everyone (that is, if anyone is reading this).

Hi Autumn! My name is Briana and I just joined the site today as well. I'm kind of in the same boat as you. My senior year of college I lost 30lbs and felt amazing. Then I had a bunch of changes in my life and over the last 3 years have gained at all back and more. I am also an emotional eater and deal with depression. This causes a yo-yo of feelings and weight which is so frustating. I hope that the community on this site will help us deal with our emotional issues and help us feel supported to do what we need to do to lose this weight. Good luck and feel free to post me if you feel down!
