Hi, Everyone. I am new to the group. I just found it today. I am a plus-size woman. I have been big all my life, and for a while I was so ashamed of my looks. I've been learning to love myself and appreciate the life I have been given. I plan to work on my weight. I have some dietary issues to deal with first.
I know that when people hear that a plus size woman has dietary issues, they automatically think that our problems is over eating. That's not always true. My problem is the opposite. I rarely eat and my body stores a lot of fat from the little food I eat. This is making it hard to loose weight. I know its hard to believe that not eating to contribute to gaining weight, but its true. I used to stress eat and I reached 500 pounds trying to eat my way through my depression and hardships in life. I gained the strength to change my situation and leave the stress eating behind. Unfortunately, I picked up something worse. Now I starve myself when I am stressed or depressed. Most days, I have to take medicine just to hold my food down.
Anyway, this is my story. I look forward to this group. I am hoping it will be good me.

I'm horrified! I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000. I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter. I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change. Now this! I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000. I guess I have to pay...
