Hi, dont feel so bad, Im only 5'2 and weight 160, the heaviest in all my life. I weight 155 being 9 months pregnant 12 years ago.
Like you I am new on this, and also I discover that I hace PCOS, only a few months ago, after years and years of health problems,
depresions, and daily mood changes.  I feel envy for people that can eat wathever they want  and dont gain weight, I starve myself and gain weight on a daily basis.  My advise is try to get people, family members and friends to understand that our condition is a real one,  and that we need their help to keep our minds and bobies on a good shape. A few years ago I lost 40pounds with jenny graig and keep them for almost 3 years, now I am trying to accept myself as I am. But as fat as I get, the more care of myself I take. I always try to have nice clothes , nice hair and makeup. Let me tell you that my husband of 13 years like me more as this fat that when I Was skinny. He said that bones are only for dogs. I hope thismake you feel better. Good luck!
