Hi everyone. This is my first time posting on a board like this. I am usually a pretty private person so it feels weird putting my feeling here, but I don't have anyone in my life that can understand what I am going through.
I have been fat since birth. No kidding...I was 10 pounds! I can't remember a time in my life that I wasn't overweight. to make matters worse, I am the only one in my family with a weight problem. I am 21, 5'5" and I weigh about 380 pounds. My sister is also 5'5" and weighs 115. My mother complains all the time about being fat, but she wears a size 10 so give me a break! I have never had a boyfriend...or even a date. My back hurts all the time and so do my knees. I know I am a mess because my periods are never regular and I worry that I may never be able to have a baby or get married or even have a career I can stand because no one wants to hire someone that is obviously so unhealthy. My family thinks I am depressed, but I think it is just that my life right now is so painful and humiliating that anyone would feel like crap. I really think that in spite of everyhitng I am a positive person under all this fat. I don't know why I have done this to myself. I eat huge amounts of food. I get in my car and I hit 3 or 4 fast food places and eat in my car. I do this everyday. And that is just lunch. I eat dinner with my family, but then find some excuse to go out and hit the drive thrus again. I eat until I feel sick, go home and go to bed. I feel like I am comitting slow suicide and I don't know why!
I saw the picture on this website and it looks so much like me. I am hoping that someone here can help me figure this out. I am looking in to this diet and plan to talk to my family about it tonight. Believe it or not, I have never attempted to deit in my life. I don't know what they will say, but I am hoping they will be supportive. All they do is tell me to eat less and exercise. HA! They have no idea.
Has anyone here lost this much weight? I figure I need to lose about 250 pounds. Is this even possible? My mom says that maybe I should just have the surgery, but that scares me. I knew somoene that died from gastric bypass and it was horrible. No thanks.
Will I have to exerise with this for it to work? I can barely move now so I'm thinking if I could lose some first without exercise I might be able to start that later.
Sorry to go on so long. I guess I had a lot to get out. Thanks for listening.
