Hi my name is Ana and I am 20 years old! I recently joined this group and couldn’t be happier to be here. My weight is something that follows me to every corner of my life. At the age of 14, my mom took me to a nutritionist and I lost 40 pounds. From 176 to 136 lbs. On September 2016, everything went downhill. My dad passed away. On February 2017, my mom moved away to USA due to gaining her green card.

I was left with my aunt in this huge apartment that used to be full of life and happiness. My mental health went downhill. I started to get bad anxiety and eat a lot. I gained those 40 pounds and more. On top of that, my family was not helping at all especially my mom and siblings. They attack me verbally every second they can. Insinuating I should get surgery or that I look like a cow (words from my mom’s mouth). Last week, I had an argument with my mom and sister. Both again mentioning surgery and accusing me of eating, hiding, and taking things from the kitchen.

Recently I was doing my diet for me and me only. But honestly I stopped. My insecurities and their reminders not helping at all. Now today, I’ve decided that enough is enough. If they can’t stand me look the other way and I will lose weight at my own pace. For me and only me.

Soooo this is me! It’s nice to meet you all❤️
