Weight issues

I guess everyone has weight issues. It's all over the news and magazines. Well, I have weight issues, I can't stop eating! I was always skinny up until I had my second daughter, Isabelle. I never went back to being the weight that I was before I had her, but it wasn't until I moved here to Italy that I gained 30lbs! I have tried to loose weight a few times and failed miserably. I worked out with a friend of mine for about six months, we did eleptical and a body combat class three or four times a week. For that time I didn't gain any weight but I didn't loose any either. I know it was because I still ate whatever I wanted. I just refused to change my eating habits. (I know it's stupid) Anyway, then I started to work and it all went to hell! Earlier in the year I went to a nutritionist and she put me on a 1,200 calorie a day diet. I followed it to the T. I also started walking on a treadmill my friend let me borrow. I lost 12lbs! But I was also starving all the time! My mom, dad, and sister came to visit for a month and yep, it all went to hell. Traveling around europe showing my family around, didn't help with my diet. Eating out all the time, and trying those once in a lifetime foods, I gained the 12lbs back. I just haven't been able to get back to working out. The more weight I gain, the lazier I get. I look horrible, I can't stand to look in the mirror and I don't take any pictures of myself. I hate to complain about it because I don't do anything about it, but it is so hard. I've never had to loose this much weight before and I also suffer from an anxiety disorder, so I get anxious about anything and the first thing I do is eat! I hate it. Anyway, I am going to stop complaining now.
