Im 19, 5'2, and I have been struggling with my weight since I was about 14. I just started my first job at the family business. I was at a healthy 140 pounds and doing great. Im a very shy person and always have been. Out of nowhere I started feeling anxious and nervous just having to deal with the stress of working with new people. I have a bit of a problem with social anxiety, It seems when I started at the company, instead of opening up and being the bubbly and funny person I always have been I went back into my shell. I became very quiet and started to isolate myself from my other coworkers. Whenever they would try to strike up a conversation its almost as if my mind would go blank and I would not know what to say other than a few words. I could tell they started to think that something was wrong, just judging on my social actions. This began to stress me out even more because I had never shown this type of behavior even in school. So I decided to turn to food which made the situation even worse. I gained 23 pounds in a month and a half. My coworkers surely noticed and eventually stopped talking to me completely. I began to miss work because of these feelings of not being accepted. I am now at a weight of 163 and feeling like I need some healthy advise.
