As I got older, I stood up for myself and didn't allow the ridicule. I pretended I was happy the way I was and told people to look away if they didn't like what they saw. To this day I hate to go out in public because people stare, shake their heads, look at me with disgust, and some actually have the nerve to say things like "go on a diet". Things like that make me feel more insecure and make me want to lock myself in my room and never come out. I usually just end up stuffing myself with food which makes me feel better for the time being. My parents are overweight too. My mother is an excellent cook and baker. She's always whipping up delicious desserts and high calorie meals. We don't really eat vegetables or fruit so she stopped buying it because it would end up in the trash. I prefer to eat things like cookies, candy, chips and other junk food instead of the healthy stuff. I grew up eating this way so now that I'm older it's hard to break the cycle.
Last year when my boyfriend broke up with me I was so depressed I put on forty pounds. When I weighed myself last week I was up to 236 pounds. This is the the heaviest I've ever been. I don't want to be fat anymore, I want to be skinny and accepted for who I am and not what I look like. I am desperate to lose the weight but I lack the motivation required to do so. I know I'm on a downhill spiral and I need to take control of my life and make the necessary changes. |
Large portions are the norm for me, it's like I can never get full enough. I eat whether I'm hungry or not. I eat when I'm bored, stressed, sad, happy, basically I eat all day long. I never exercise because I don't like sweating and being out of breath. I would like to change my ways but I don't know how to go about it. I tried many diets and lost weight on some but I always manage to put it back on.Who's Online

I truly feel for you. Reading the comments on here have made me feel like I can do this. That I need to stop with the excuses and start getting off my butt and doing something.
We CAN do this. We owe it to ourselves. We deserve to be healthy and happy.
Fortunately I discovered I was able to get lap band surgery through my health insurance. It was by far the best decision I had ever made, it is not a pancea. The intention is that it is a tool and you have to use it as a tool. Please do not think that if this is something that is not possible for you that there is no hope. I had sucess with other options however decided that at this time it was the right thing for me.
Ultimately you will find the thing that is right for you. The most important thing is to have the confidence in yourself that with or without weightloss you are person of value. I recently shared with my husband who has been there literally through thick and thin, my highest weight. He was shocked, he knew I was big but had no idea. I really think it was fairly obvious but he did not. It finally dawned on me that the people who love you see the beauty in you that you yourself will not allow yourself to see.
I FEEL VERY MOTIVATED TO KEEP MY EXERCISES UP AND DRINK PLENTY OF WATER AND STAY ON MY DIET. IT IS HARD BUT... TO GET GOOD RESULTS YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD. THERE'S NO WHERE AROUND IT. BUT YOU CAN DO IT. IT IS ALL FOR GOOD HEALTH AND YOU WILL FEEL BETTER. I WISH YOU THE BEST. PEACE AND LOVE TO YOU.
After a few weeks with no sugar, the problematic excess of yeast dies and cravings stop.
It can account for depression, rashes, diarrhea, stomach pain, gas, etc...
You can't survive, much less be healthy without veggies.
People say you are what you eat. But what we are is from the earth-which means to stay healthy we need food from the earth.
I know how hard it is, as an overweight sufferer myself, but I've seen it work. Losing a few pounds a week with no physical effort, pills or tricks as long as I stick to water, veggies, and protein.
It works, but it takes effort to remind yourself that you don't NEED sugar and that when your hungry, junk only shuts up your body's need for nutrients. it doesn't fulfill your body's need for food. Junk isn't food. I've taken to a finger-string type trick. Writing or drawing on my wrist a reminder that food is alive, and will keep me the same.
I'm rebellious by nature and it helps me to personify the yeast when I have cravings. It's an evil parasite that will do everything to change my mind into feeding it, even if it kills me. That helps me to fight it, not submit to feeding it and hurting my body. I'm telling you, a few weeks of no sugar and few carbs and everything tastes different. Your cravings change. You know when you need the vitamin c in oranges or the iron in spinach or the fiber in broccoli. It's amazing what we learn when we really listen to our bodies instead of treating symptoms and ignoring problems.
Good luck.
My self esteem was so low that I allowed myself to be used by every sex fiend out there,not knowing the harm that I was opening myself up to. I love to eat all the unhealthy food there is available. I recently bought a full length mirror and omg I almost died looking at myself. I did not know I looked like that because I was always looking down at myself. Even though I say big women are here,we have arrived I do not want to be one of them no more. If you do not like what you see,it is time to do something about it. Learned habits can be changed,it just takes a lot of self disiplining yourself. My motto is,if at first you do not succeed try it a different way. You said you tried dieting once,then see some one in dietary so you can learn new eating habit.If you fall off the wagon do not beat yourself up,pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again. I am overweight, a recovering alcoholic, and crack addict and I have been clean and sober for 13 years and I crave sweets all the time. My children and grandchildren know I have this problem,so we have to limit all sweets coming into the house.If you and your parents all join forces and work together,the outcome will be greater. Be like the little engine, I know can, I know I can.
For me, it's my waist line, I wished it was tinier than it is now. So each day I do a few excercises or walk to help slim it down. At the end of each day I tell myself--- I am not happy with it, It isn't where I want it at, but it is better than it was yesterday.
This way I get to end my day KNOWING that it is better than it was yesterday.
Do a little bit of something that will help you reach your goals. Helping yourself get to be a bit better each day will help your self esteem. It's nice to fall asleep knowing that you're better than you were the day before. You'll never be perfect, but you can be better.
