I weighed myself today and I weigh 147lbs...sooooo sooo fat. I haven't ever been this heavy and I feel so badly about myself:sick: :sick: :brokenheart: :brokenheart: :cry: . I am so fat. I have battled eating disorders and they are cyclical. I have been 98lbs as an adult at my lowest and 147 lbs at my highest. I want to weigh around 105lbs and I need the support of a community to help me battle his cylical addiction. I was wondering if I can count on your help!?!?!?

    I have been there! At my lowest I was 97lbs, and at my highest (9months pregnant) 185! I am making a slow change, but I am making absolutely sure that I eat the right kinds of foods. You have to eat in order to loose the weight. If you starve your body will hang onto the fat. If you ever need support hit me up anytime! You can do this and still be healthy!!

    I am 147 and I am looking quite fine, but if you're shorter (I'm 5'5"), then yes, 147 might look and feel yucky to you.

    Welcome- this is a great resource and I am so happy with the support here.

    However, as far as help with a disease and battling eating disorders. You might want to consult professionals and people that can really help you identify your issues with eating and weight gain.

    Also, careful about the F word (Fat) especially when 147 is a great weight and often a goal of other members here.

    Good luck on your journey- be good to yourself! I hope you find the self-love you deserve!

    I'm sure you probably feel squishy and uncomfortable but remember it isnt as bad as you may think. I would consult professionals if you have had/have eating disorders. Good luck!

    I am only 5'1" and after losing 44.4lbs, I am 150.6 pounds. Yes, I still need to lose about 25lbs, but I feel damn good.

    don't be so hard on yourself.

    If you want to lose a few to become more perfectly fit that is okay but you are definitely not "so fat".

    You look great in your pic.
