I'm hoping I can get my sh** together. I've been a mess recently... Irritable and depressed mostly, over eating (gained 6lbs ) and I came really close to cutting a couple times.

Thing is I might actually be getting my transfer and moving with hubby and our son 3 hours away... Great opportunity to work at a high volume, high profile store...

I'm afraid when we get up there ill screw it up. I keep trying to convince myself when we move we can start over... I'll eat healthier, find a T,find a dr to get a physical and even see a dentist. But maybe it's wishful thinking. I can't stick to anything ever. I just really want this to work out for us.

I really want to make it on my own... My parents still have 3 other kids to take care of, I think it's time I finally leave the nest and try to live my own life...

But I'm scared.

Good luck with your possible transfer and move. It's never a bad time to start over - just take small steps in the right directions. Just stick to one goal at a time and make sure you do it. You don't have to wait to start till you move.
I found the myfitnesspal ap on my phone helped me to cut back on overeating and made me more likely to chose to eat healthier options but if you've had eating disorders in the past it might be the wrong thing for you.
It is normal to be scared by big changes, don't be afraid of making mistakes - they will happen and you can deal with them when they happen.

It always scary and exciting to move. I would get all your Dr.'s line up just in case you move. So you have no transition time. look into the local community center they usually have cheap exercise classes and sometimes nutritionist. Don't think you should worry about screwing up.

That's a good idea... My mother in law works for a hospital, so I'm sure she knows of drs or clinics... But I'm kind of embarrassed to let her know about my issues. Maybe I can have my husband talk to her.
