Obesity Support Group
This community is dedicated to those of us struggling with obesity. Obesity is thought to be a significant risk factor in certain health conditions, leading to increased mortality. Find the support you need by sharing your story, asking questions, and learning from others on how they have coped.
Today was really a bad day, and I googled message boards for "obese", a word I hate, but describes me. It led me to here and so far, I am amazed how wonderful everyone is. I already have received several messages and hugs and friends. I deal with depression and anxiety, probably connected to the weight. If I could get my overeating under control and get to a healthy weight, I would feel so much better. I look forward to reading more entries and offering support to others as well.

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
improve my self image I might be able to get out more. But first I have to find self-esteem. Everything is kind of inter-related. Love yourself; love your body; eat healthy foods and take care of yourself. I get it all in my head, just have immense trouble following through.
I found that doing volunteer work really helped to give me a sense of value. It helps me just as much as it helps those that need it. Even a couple hours a week is enough to make you feel good about yourself. One thing leads to another and then you're starting to take care of yourself better.
It can break that circle of depression/weight/depression.
You can count of us to be here for you, too.
