Dont think Im ever going to lose this weight. Im feeling tired and stressed. Why can't I be normal and just eat healthy food. It looks ok on the plate but as soon as I hold it, I start to gag. Going to doctors today. I really hope they take me seriously and help me. I know Im not going to be able to loose weight until I can eat enough Calories but from the right food. Simply reducing chocolate and crisps and cake is no good when you can't eat something else instead.

    Starting out you do not have to change fully what you eat. Just eat less even if the food is crisps and chocolate. Try to stay under your calories until you get use to the amount and then start to introduce the food of veggies and fruits and things that are going to fill you up more. Trying to change everything at once is a recipe for disaster. I eat what I want on my calorie limit, some days I eat fruit and veggies and others I use my calories on pizza. Ideally it is a healthy choice you want to make, right now just focus on a deficit! You can do it!

    It's overwhelming to try to change everything all at once. I started this very gradually, making small changes like taking the stairs instead of the elevator and not bringing potato chips in my lunch anymore. Over time, I added a lot of exercise and made significant changes to the way I eat, if I had tried to drastically change everything in the beginning, I doubt I would have come this far. Don't try to eat foods you hate. Eat smaller portions of what you like. Try introducing new, healthier foods one thing at a time.

    Been to see the doctor and she is going to refer me to an dietitian. Hopefully they will accept me. The doctor said that they may not because I am only over weight and not obese yet. It would be cheaper to help people before they get obese surely. Fighting the problem now hopefully will prevent other costs from treating things like Diabetes, Heart Problems..etc. The world we live in is not ideal. Waiting till problems are really bad instead of preventive cures.

    Even if they don't accept you, they likely have literature they can share with you.
