    • About Me

      I have Fibromyalgia and i am over weight. I have 2 wonderful girls that are my life and complete it. I have a wonderful Husband that trys to be very supportive but him being skinny and not knowing anything about Fibro kind of makes it hard for him. I have 3 yorkie/pom pups that are my other children, and i have 3 wonderful male cats that i would be lost with out. I have been trying to shade this weight now since my oldest was born, but haven't been able to. I have no energy and no drive really. I am here to make new friends that are in the same boat as Me. I get to a point in my life where everything is great and wham shit happens and i feel so alone. I am looking for friends that are strong minded and able to give me that push when i need it. I have very low self esteem, so taking a complement is very hard for me. I'm a very caring, loving person that just needs that push, so if you think you can help push me into the right direction message me and lets talk.
