I Am Ashamed of My Weight

Near Death?

By: Bride2BN09
Written on August 4th, 2008

I am at the highest weight I have ever been. I am 20 lbs away from 400. You would think that would be enough to get me going - but I just can't seem to lose the weight -part of my problem is that when no one is around, I over eat - a LOT.

I saw a picture of me over the weekend and I cried. My kids are going to lose their mom if I don't get a handle on this. I went to the doctor to talk to him about lapband surgery and chickened out - I ended up crying my eyes out and he decided I was just depressed.

HELL YAH! wouldn't YOU be if you weighed this???

HEEEEEEEEELPPPP

    Find something active you love to do and it will be easier to stick with it. Write down you goals and a vision you have for yourself. Think of all the reasons you want to be healthy!! You have to surround yourself with people to help and motivate you! I know talking with other people working out and that have the same goals as me is so helpful! I know i do Turbofire and it so much fun! I have tips and am here to listen!

    It's hard to lose weight but, it is achievable once you make a decision to do it. It is must to set a goal, apply yourself and work towards it.

    I can totally relate to what you are saying, I weigh about 350ish pounds, Its crap and I cant break the cycle either, be glad you have kids I have been trying to get pregnant for 2+years but I think maybe the weight is stopping me from achieving that :/ It feels like a hopeless battle and I too would like the surgery but I cannot afford it, and would be quite scared about it too.

    Its a hard road, oneday just believe that you will find the strength, because even I know there is more happiness in losing the weight, than there is in eating the temporarily pleasing food :(

    i do the same thing, eat more when no one is there. i'm forced to live with my mother right now (YUK) & she had surgery & has been out of work for about a month so far, in the first 2 weeks i lost 7 pounds.

    You have to break the cycle! BELIEVE you can do it. You know what helps me? I watch the Biggest Loser. I am not close to being overweight, but I am still inspired by the people that are on that show! Try it! Best of luck.
