I'm really scared I've damaged my metabolism.
About five years ago I peaked at 180lbs, and without even trying (literally) I lost about 30lbs in 3 months to bring my weight to around 150lbs. I maintained that for a few years, and then I found out I was very sick and hadn't even realized it. I ended up in the hospital for two weeks with sepsis and came VERY close to dying (I was within about 1.5-2 days of being too far gone) but because of that infection it caused me to lose 25lbs in about a week and a half. I was down to 135lbs.
About a year after that experience I put a little bit of weight back on to bring my numbers back to around 145-150. As hard as I try I just can't seem to lose the weight now. I hear all of these people talk about not starving yourself because you'll screw up your metabolism and you'll never be able to lose the weight after that, and I'm so scared that that's what's happened to me.
Last year around March I decided enough was enough, I was walking 5+miles a day on the treadmill, doing workout videos, everything I thought was right and I stayed the course for almost 12 weeks and I lost probably 2lbs, if that. I'm scared to start another weight loss journey because I figure why bother? It's not going to work, it didn't work last year, what's so different about this time? To make matters worse, my doctor put me on a prescription that made me gain almost 10lbs in a couple of months (I'm no longer taking it).
I'm in a bad place and I don't know how to snap myself out of it. I wish I would wake up one morning with at least a 5lb loss. I don't know what I have to do to make this work and it's the most frustrating thing in the world.

I'm still trying to figure out the ends and outs of FS, so forgive me if this is common knowledge, but how do you change your RDI numbers? FS has mine listed at around 1800, and I just think that's way too much. I would like it to be around maybe 1200-1300 but I can't figure out how to change it in my settings.
Can it be done?

I'm one of those people that can't start a diet on any other day but Monday, and if it's close to the end of the month, I have to wait until the first of next month. Luckily for me, Monday is December 1st. I feel like that's a sign, a sign of a fresh start, and new beginnings.
I've struggled with some medical problems the past few years and it's caused me to miss out on finishing high school and starting college. I've pushed all of my friends away and for the past 5 or 6 years I haven't had any interaction with people my age, other than going in stores and things like that. This situation has caused me to become depressed, and in my depression I have turned to food.
No more.
I've made my mind up, 2015 is going to be MY year, I say that
every
year, but this year I really mean it. I'm hoping to get a jump start on the new year with this month (December). I will need all the help I can get, tips on how to eat healthier, what's worked for you and what hasn't, and just words of encouragement.
Thank you for reading this, and I wish you the best on your journey to a healthier you! I'm not 100% sure how this site works but I think you can add me as a buddy if you'd like?
I'm looking forward to making new friends!
