does anyone else ever feel so alone?

I constantly feel alone on it.

EVERYONE I know pretty much has weight issues, some slowly creeping, and others so over weight their doctors have told them they'll be pushing daisies within a decade.

Ladies in my family (all but mom are heavy now) all look at me funny because I'm a guy that *gasp* wants to lose a few pounds off the sides. They seem COMPLETELY oblivious to the idea that maybe guys too might not want to turn into blimps.

My friends like to rub in SUPER high calorie meals and snacks. One friend even eats an entire family sized bag of Doritos's as though it was a fun sized snack (one sitting during a movie).

Pretty much the only support I get is on here. My fat friends do not want to hear anything about weight loss, and my family thinks I am crazy for not wanting to be a fat male.

Your husband doesn't need to be on board, and he may not ever stop ordering pizza and wings. You will have to learn to deal with your internal struggles. Don't make his life miserable because you are having issues. This is your problem. You alone have to navigate the world and food.

I understand your pain, dealing w/a food disorder is like an addict dealing w/an addiction. I recently feel off the wagon, BIG TIME. I was disappointed in myself that I punished myself w/food. I think my depression is coming back, or maybe im stressed out because my youngest is away a college (we moved her into her dorm this weekend) and last night for the first time in a long time was feeling lonely. But, it's going to be OK. I'll say a prayer for you hun, I hope you're feeling better. HUGS.
