Today has started out really well. I woke up, worked out, and tried yoga for the first time (which I loved!). I'm in a great mood, and I'm …

Your story sounds so much like mine! I'm here for support (to give and get it). I look forward to getting to know you. I very much sympathize with you about being addicted to food. I am that way myself and the struggle is hard. In fact, I'm fighting the urge to go raid the kitchen right now! I've come so far - see profile - and I do not want to go back where I was, even though I still have a long way to go. I do not use the word "diet" in my journey, I think of it as a healthy lifestyle change that I'm on. I am going to get to join WW this week, so I am hoping that will really help. I've been trying to do it again on my own and I am struggling. I would love to have the lapband surgery but my insurance will not cover it and I cannot afford it. I have a good friend that did the lapband and has had great results - she had it several years ago. Best of luck to you! Look forward to chatting with you. Sherry D (sassynanna51)
I’m With You
Hiya Porcelain, Thanks for the invitation to be your friend. I know how hard it is to lose weight as I am struggling with it myself. I am taking it slow and not focusing so much on losing weight as I am as getting in better shape with more activity. Right now it is a struggle for me to walk long distances and steps about kill me. I hate that feeling. Trying to cross my legs or even tuck them under me is also horrible. Anyways I am here for ya whenever ya need a friend:)
I’m With You

Close Obesity
I'm a 27yr old RN and have been overweight since early childhood. There are days I love myself, and days that I hate myself...I'd like more of the 'love myself' days. I'm currently in the process of being approved for a Lap Band, but I need all the help and support I can get because right now things seems pretty bleak.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Not Working
- "Depriving" myself of food never works very well for me. It makes me anxious and then I crave it even more. Though if I can do this successfully, I do manage to loose weight.
- Meridia Not Working
- I tried this in college and the stuff put me to sleep...that was all I did.
- NutriSystem Not Working
- I tried this system and it was way too much hassle. They make it sound easy, but I didn't think that it was at all.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I know this works...I just hate doing it.
- Slim-Fast Working / Worked
- I actually really like slim-fast and it's one of the only things I'll do for breakfast. If I could incorporate it more, I think it'd work even better.
- Phentermine Working / Worked
- This drug has done wonders for me. I was on it for 3 months and lost 20lbs but am currently on a drug holiday and have probably gained back at least 10lbs.
