    If fasting until dinner worked for you in the past, there's probably no danger in it.

    I understand the frustration. Some of it you sound like you feel like you've been singled out with this affliction not everyone in your family has? I would try to address that thinking because it will never help you succeed. Nearly all of us have weight management issues eventually in life, your niece probably will, too. It's not the worst 'affliction'. It's very normal and at least there are ways we can deal with it effectively. It's just finding the ones that you can do for the long term.

    Good luck!

    If the exercise is new, make sure to give several pounds leeway for your muscles storing water.

    I can never see the scale move until well on into a diet (3 months, maybe?). Then it does. Slowly, but it does. My deficits are never really big, because I hate that, lol.

    Patience and consistency, grasshopper :) Patience alone won't do it, because if your measurements are off or you binge sometimes, etc, everything might even out. Consistency is necessary. But you don't have to have an extreme deficit to lose! Just a consistent deficit and enough patience to match it.

    I know, its the only the thing everyday on my mind.
    Eating, food, losing weight, counting and then food again.

    OMG im driving myself crazy, im soo frigging obsessed with this.

    And what bothers me the most, is when im eating somethin at work, the thin people always go:
    Can i have one slice please or half of it :sick: , and then here i am wanting two slices     :angry: .

    YESSSSS as all of you are saying the only thing causes this, is that im still eating too much.
    Im probably underestamating my food intake. Which is hard when youre really trying to watch everything you eat.

    Sometimes i look at my food after i logged, and i would think, jeesz i eat too much, but when counting the calories its all between the 1200-1500 cal a day. THEN I JUST GET REALLY CONFUSED.

    Im sorry, im sooooo pissed of today, at MYSELF and everyone and everything.
    WHY IN GODS NAME, AM I BORN THIS WAY??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARRAGAGHAGAHG!!!!!!!!

    Why could i not have the nice shape that my family has. WHy WHy WHy?
    And then my skninny Nieces go, OMG MY SIDES ARE SOOO FAT :sick:
    I just wanna puke right there and then.

    Can you read their minds? How do you know that they don't WANT 2 slices? I regularly eat a slice or a slice and a half of pizza. But, that doesn't mean that I don't want 2 slices. I love my mochas more than pizza, and often times that's what I've chosen to spend my surplus calories on that day.

    Consistently log. Weigh and measure your food for accuracy. Really do this for at least a month and see what happens. You say that you've "tried everything" but, from your description this is the thing that you haven't actually tried.

    I've been where you are. One certain "plan" that worked for one person may not work for you. Atkins didn't work for me, being vegan didn't work for me, I even GAINED weight on Weight Watchers! What did work for me was going to my doctor, talking things over with him and finding out why those other plans didn't work for me. Using the tools and support of other people here actually does work for me. I've learned, for me at least, it's all about portion control and exercise. It really was that simple for me. A little encouragement from others doesn't hurt either. :)

    Invest in a digital food scale. Weigh and log EVERYTHING that you eat. Simple.

    Wow, your really beautiful!! But you should not be so negative or hard on yourself. And never compare yourself to someone else!! When you say things like "why was I born this way", I hope you are joking. Look at how many people are on MFP. I would say that most of us are here to lose weight the old fashioned way via eating healthy and regular exercise, cause other diets we went on prior did not work long term. It gets harder as we get older (at 39 I can attest to this lol). But hey, most of us are in the same boat. Just have to kick it up a notch with cardio and weights! Maybe you should get some tests done to make sure it's not something else. But whatever you do, don't jump off the deep end and give up!! Stay balanced and stay positive.
