hi support needed.

hi,
my name is carrie. i am 26 and seriously overweight. I'm scared and feel lonely. Nobody around me truly understands my life on a day to day basis. The aches and pains, wondering if I something will trigger the monster in my head. I want to beat this and need to beat it. I hate staring at food longingly even when it belongs to other people. I feel like a fiend I want and need an escape. Looking for friends that understand.

    Hi Carrie,
    You've come to the right place, I totally understand your struggles! I have been on a rollercoaster wih my food demons, and it seems like I'm fighting a losing battle sometimes. Are you able to attend a face to face OA meeting? In the beginning it's an awkward, uncomfortable feeling, but you'll find that everyone in the room shares the same issues as you, and you start to feel a sense of belonging. I show up here every day to offer and receive support. Hang in there, we can tackle this together. Friends request sent!
