I sent some friend requests out (they only let you do 5 at a time...more later). Sorry if my message sounds like a dating site description. I am just not sure what else to put! :laugh: Anyhow, I love having support on here as well as giving the support.

Hi all, my name is Ali and I am looking to get serious and be held accountable not only to myself but to my family as well. I am a stress eater and after a family tragedy I have gained 200 pounds in 16 years. I am beyond morbidly obese and I know my life will be shortened if I do not get serious. I am 41 years young and I have been married since 1991 with 5 sons under the age of 12 (they are active in martial arts, football, soccer and running and they are at their healthy weight.) I am also a full time college student working on my M.A.I.S (will finish in May) and Masters in school psychology (licensed hopefully by next year). I know I need to lose weight not only for health concerns but also to enter the job market next year when being older is already a challenge. I am looking for a friend (s) to help keep me motivated. I have other friends who are overweight however they have chosen other methods to get their weight under control (Lap Band and Gastric Bypass) I wish them luck, however for me that is not an option because until they invent a Lap Band for the brain and its impulses to eat ,this method will not stop me for over eating. Would someone please help me? If you only knew how hard this was for me to even ask for help and to admit I have a BIG problem. I don’t want someone to whine or make excuses to I want someone who will be honest with me when I am real with them. I hope I can encourage you too! Please help if you can. Thanks so much!
