Looking for support...

KarMykal

Let me see where to begin.......I have been a big girl all my life. Growing up all I heard from my family was "You'd be so pretty if you would just loose weight" so being me and having NO self-esteem I of course just turned to food for every problem I had. Next thing I knew I was over 300 lbs. My parents got so worried about me that 4 years ago they talked me into having Gastric Bypass Surgery. Well of course I wasn't really in the right mind frame when I had the surgury (did it just to make my parents happy) and well it didn't really work. I mean I did loose about 80 lbs. then that wonderful little thing called DEPRESSION sunk its evil little hands into me and I gained back out 30 lbs. So now I am giving this a go... I have tried many and I mean MANY different diets, seen Nutritionist, tried Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig and just about everything else that you can think of. But I think the difference now is that I am really ready to loose this weight and get out and live!!!

Here's the problem I don't really have a support team, I mean yes my parents are supportive, but its family and while they are great I need a support team that is going to talk me out of eating that pint of ice cream when I have had a bad day or to say "Hey your doing great" - You know what I mean???

So I am throwing it out there to all you MFP peeps - to see if anyone out there would like to help me FINALLY break this cycle of bindge eating and feeling hopeless and encouage me to loose the 150 or so pounds I need to, So I can watch my daughter do everything I was to afraid to do because I was too fat to do and of course for ME so that I can FINALLY look in that mirror and say "Damn girl you look good!" and of course I would TOTALLY be there for anyone who needs encouragement as well.
