in Introduce Yourself
I am trying this as a last resort. I have struggle to loose weight and even tossed the idea around of adopting an eating disorder to make it happen. I am truly that desperate. I am a 28 year old female from Wisconsin, 2 kids, weigh more now than I did when I gave birth to either of my boys. Feeling very very down and out and dont know where else to turn.

    Well...I'll support you in being HEALTHY, but seriously - NOT at becoming eating disordered. I've been there and it sucks. Being thin is NOT worth doing horrible, unhealthy, scary things to yourself.

    Eating healthy and exercising works. It really does. It takes some adjusting to get into it because it truly is a different lifestyle, but it can happen. There are SO many people here who will help you, support you, motivate you, cheer you on, keep you going when things get rough.

    If you're still considering an eating disorder...I beg you (really, really!) please talk to someone about this. I would be willing to bet that something else is going on that you need some support with. A lot of times, eating disorders are symptoms of depression, feelings of not having control over anything else, etc.

    Please take really good care of yourself. Friend me if you'd like to. (I'm also from WI. :smile: )

    I have been on and off so many diets and nothing lasts longer than a month. This time, I cant give up, I need to push forward and I need to do what it takes it get rid of this monstrosity. I cant be this large, I cant continue to go to the grocery store or the pharmacy or anything else and have people ask daily when I am due or if I know what I am having or other comments to that nature. I just absolutly cannot do it anymore. I am defeated.
    I am at the point where I am going to stay within the suggested calories, I am not going to go over, I wont let myself even if that means I feel hungry.
    When I mentioned an eating disorder, the though process was that I want it gone quick and maybe that would be quicker. Or, if I continue to not let myself eat when I feel hungry, well then maybe eventually i just wont feel hungry or I just wont need to eat.

    You can try spreading your meals apart so you don't become hungry. It's also possible you aren't eating enough calories if you're always hungry. I would start by talking to your doctor and see what s/he recommends. They (along with all of us) don't want this to be a 'diet'...it should be a lifestyle change. While losing weight is definitely a plus, the ultimate goal should be to become healthy. Best of luck!
