So, I've been down this road before... And failed. And I keep telling myself this time is gonna be different... But I say that EVERY TIME... So, here's what I've come to say.

My name is Jacque. I'm 34 years old and weigh 375lbs. I'm addicted to food and I need help. I need help getting off the sugar, bread, pasta, potatoes, etc. Because it is killing me.
I am physically disabled. Not because of my weight, bt because of other conditions I have. So, I know my workout limits, etc.
I will be in pain for the rest of my life due to my conditions. But I know, losing weight can and will help alleviate some of it.
So, here I am, asking for your support on my life change. But a different kind of support. The support I need is negative. I know that sounds really odd. But, I need to prove it to myself, as well as others that I can get healthy. That I can do this for me.
So, if you're willing to support me in a negative, yet friendly manner, please do!!!!

    Welcome! You mentioned in your post that you've tried a lot of things before. I would normally ask this in a more gentle way, but since you say you're okay with "negative" support I'll just ask it bluntly...what is going to make this time different?

    It's okay if you don't know the answer yet, btw. Spend some time in the forums here and see what has worked for other people. We have a lot of success stories from people who started at least as heavy as you are now. It's definitely achievable, but if you do the same things you've done in the past, nothing's going to change. Start by finding out why/how this time is different.

    I've hit rock bottom with myself. Seriously. I can't keep doing this to myself anymore. I'm disgusted by what I see in the mirror, when I shower, change...

    MFP isn't the only thing I'm doing. I'm also keeping a written journal, to myself.

    That's what's different this time. I'm proving myself wrong and my husband. He just doesn't think I know he doesn't think I can do it... I've been telling myself and my husband for months now, that I'm going to change the way I eat, and start exercising, etc. And I'm to the point with myself where I don't think I can. So, I'm going to prove me wrong.
