    • About Me

      I have spent most of my adult life depriving myself of happiness because I am over weight. My size makes me uncomfortable because I am so much bigger than most of the people around me. And so I avoid people as much as possible even if it means shutting out a potential friend. I believe I have to be happy with myself before I can be happy sharing myself with others. I want to feel better about myself so bad it hurts. Hopefully a weight loss will help. Maybe someone here could relate to this or at least understand it. I'm open for support and suggestions.

    • Close Obesity

      I just want to feel comfortable in my own skin. I have been overweight most of my adult life. I believe happiness comes with being happy with yourself. I'm just looking for a way to make that happen. I would love to lose weight because that always makes me feel better about myself. But how can I do it?

      Treatments

      Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
      I can't balance my exercise with a good food regime. I tend to overeat because the gym makes me so hungry.
    • Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I have spent most of my adult life feeling unhappy because I am over weight. I have begun my weight loss journey and hope to lose weight as well as transform my body shape. I hope to find support and advice here that helps me along the way. I work well with encouragement and love to encourage others.

      Treatments

      Atkins Diet Somewhat Helpful
      I lost 30 lbs. Gained it back over several months. This plan was super expensive and my jaw was always sore from eating meat.
      Weight Watchers Somewhat Helpful
      The only motivating thing about the Weight Watchers program was the weekly weigh-ins.
