I
am 38 years old, never married and have no kids. I have been a plus size girl my entire life and been alone for the majority of my life. I am on a very limited income and have no chance of having surgery, joining a weight loss program, hiring a personal trainer, or keeping healthy food in the house. I have tried every diet with no success. Several years ago I turned to illegal drugs to help me loose weight. I lost roughly 60 pounds but decided that that was not the way to go. I got off the drugs and have been clean for over a year now. But unfortunately all the weight I had lost has comeback. I don't know where to turn for help. I feel so alone. I have tried the online dating thing with no success other than finding men that just want one thing and that's not to "date". I hate myself.

  | Posted Jul 18th, 2008 at 6:32PM It sounds like you have some difficult things to deal with, and I think you should give yourself tremendous credit for getting off the drugs. That is exremely difficult. I think the fact that you were able to do that shows that you are strong, brave and determined and goes to Shai's point that the food is filling some other purpose that you need, otherwise you would stop overeating just as you stopped using. Unless it is simply a matter of not knowing nutrition and exercise principles, in which case there is plenty of information online, and even I could tell you the basics of what you need or point you in the right direction.   |
 | Posted Oct 4th, 2008 at 4:20PM I agree with jjen...it seems food is filing in some other purpose. I also think that our society has convinced women that if you dont look like one of the girls on friends then you are fat....this is not true. My wife gained about 80 to 100 lbs having our two kids and is 54. She has flucuated between 200 and 300 lbs. I like 200 better than 300 but she is still my honey. It would be good if you take the money you spend at the gym and save it for 3 to 6 months, then see a counselor to find out what issues you are dealing with. Then deal with them so you can then work on managing your weight but just try to get healthy not skinny....I love cuddling with my BBW. Take Care! |
