Not only do I have to deal with a divorce, rape, losing my job, my son's skull fracture, but now I am struggling with my weight. I am having a hard time eating and won't do it without being forced. For that reason, and many others, I am staying with my parents. Everyone thinks it is such a big deal for me to gain weight. I don't see why I have to deal with that too. I am still in the triple digits...and there are tons of skinny people out there!!! I am anxious today and shaky and not feeling well. This is really bothering me. I hate to be force-fed.

I have had the weight thing too. Though I am heavy enough that I wasn't wasting away. Just remember they are doing it out of love. They are going about it the wrong way but they do care. Don't worry about it until your doc says it is a problem.

Hi, Sorry about all the stress.. If your Parents can use the computer they may be able to read about how stress affects eating.. Never is it a good idea for anyone to try to force anyone to eat,, In fact it works just in reverse for people that may have a eating disorder.. not saying you have one,Maybe if you show them your trying with a shake or something they may relax a little and it will help all of you..Just hang in there . Love D

I'm sorry you are having a hard time eating and having to be force fed. I wouldn't be to happy about that too. Just remember that the body needs fuel to function. Otherwise mentally, physically, you can start having even more problems. You have so much going on but you need to do the basics, like get some rest, sleep, and eat some. I wish you well.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
