Hello! I am a 37 year old, 5'10 319lb woman. Yeah. Just not happy with myself anymore. I have tired and failed miserably at so many diets and exercise programs. This morning I gave up. I woke up at 5am and immediately started eating. It's like I can not control myself. It's like I can never get enough (alot of healthy type food but also alot of bad for you food). I have no support. I feel no one cares. They rather see me suffer and belittle me instead of trying to support, understand and help me. I know I'm an adult but I still deserve love and understanding!

Can you go see a therapist? I think that would be helpful. There are places you can
pay what you can afford. Diets don't help. You have to just eat healthy most of the
time. Don't deprive yourself of foods you love. Just eat smaller portions. Look in
the library for books on over eating and how to break the cycle.

Hi Collydee: I am glad you came here for support. We are compassionate and try to help each other. We will build each other up, and no one should degrade anyone. Now get your self esteem up and do this for yourself. We do matter and everyone is important. Size is just an outside appearance and saids nothing about our characted or who we are as a person.
It is important to try and get healthy, but this should be a lifestyle choice. We should try and make good choices for us. Just small changes will do a lot. Eat more veg, protein, easy on fruits and sweets. Don't deprive yourself, but just try for portion control and moderation. Just take one day at a time, and when we slip up, don't beat yourself up, but get right back on plan. We can do this.

It's says like depression for me.. Do you think about through out the night? Is food on your mind first thing in the morning or have you become accustomed to eat upon waking? !

Hi, I'm a health coach for a program that might help you if you are interested in talking. I was very over weight too and found a neighbor who had lost weight fast so I reached out. The reason I say this is that the BEST part about it is the community. There's a great online support group and we are all doing it together. I lost 75lbs in 7 months and am still on my journey. I'm happy to have a conversation about it with you and support you. You are not alone. Feel free to email me, cabinfever1013@comcast.net, Angie.
