Not a disease but in my opinion an addiction to food. It should not be treated as a disease. We've all had or known people who had those, right? cancer, heart disease, etc.... obesity is overeating FOOD. I'm fine with treating it as an addiction just not as a disease. pisses me off

Yes you are but if you'd like some support along the way, feel free to add me to your friend list. good luck!:flowerforyou:

now that's just sad or pathetic not sure which :laugh:

never mind, I just don't get it

Welcome and if you're ready this time, you'll do it! we're all in the same boat and have had our challenges along the way. Feel free to add me if you could use some support and encouragement.:flowerforyou:

I'm sending you a FR. You are beautiful but it goes deeper than the outside.... you have to start loving the you on the inside and take care of her. You have a family who loves you and its time to love yourself. take baby steps it won't happen over night but it is not supposed to its a journey and a journey starts one step…

I could use encouraging thoughts and motivation too... I'm sending both you guys a FR. have a good night!

Just WOW! Hands clapping as loudly as they can. Down over 300 lbs? Congratulations and you are my new inspiration. I don't have much to lose but always a bit of a struggle. I can't congratulate you enough and whatever you're doing, its sure working for you!:smile: :flowerforyou:

sadly this but one of my absolutely fav foods :sad:

feel free to add me. I'm on every day and glad to help if I can.

I don't get the Discovery Channel and couldn't watch it even if I did. I'm like the OP and even worse, I have vertigo just THINKING about it. Praying for a successful adventure but totally nuts!

:sad:

You can add me and think you'll love the site ;-)

I log daily and happy to be a supportive mfp friend. sending you a FR

Everything she said ;-) awesome advice! Congratulations on taking the first steps to your good health. I agree with ditching the DVD's for now and just move. If you overwhelm yourself with trying to do everything at one time you'll give up and that is not an option. You are young and have a long life ahead of you. I'm here…

Hi Antoine, I sent you a FR. Good luck you'll love the site ;-)

Good luck and you are welcome to add me if you'd like. We are all in a "funk" some days... take care:flowerforyou:

Hi there and welcome to MFP. I am older than you, 58, and really never had much of a weight problem. I joined after I had already lost some weight and took off the final 13 (before I gained 5 lb back ;-) on MFP. It did get me off my HBP meds though so all good. Welcome everyone good luck and feel free to add me to your…

what she said :flowerforyou: I'm here and check in every day. If you need to share or I can help, we're all here for you. Congratulations on taking control and you'll do this because you'll want to! Good luck to you and welcome to MFP

I was thinking the same thing and was surprised when I looked at your profile that a friend of yours would be so juvenile. First, congratulations on quitting smoking the most important health decision you ever made. I quit 4+ years ago and never missed it for a minute. 2nd you look amazing and I say it is time to get…
