What was (is) the worst thing/s about being overweight?

NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!

There are many horrible things, emotional and physical both. For me, I look back on what I was doing to my body and I've posted things off and on about what I would eat. Here is an example of any typical day towards the end when I was "done" with living. I figured I was ready to leave the world and had my way out, so I didn't care.

A typical day during that time was once a day fast food, big orders, Dr. Pepper. Several cans of soda. Stopping by the dollar store for king size candy bars, consuming several of them in a day, 1-2 large bags of chips usually with dip, a whole package of my favorite cookies (Golden Oreo's) with milk of course, because I wasn't a monster, PLUS three square meals a day and usually part of the leftovers. Is it any wonder I weighed nearly 500 pounds? No. I was eating my emotions and hoping to not wake up the next day.

I am so happy you are feeling better now. Keep taking care of yourself. I know you have a great future ahead of you, Mersh!!

I so relate to your post. Not wanting to wake up was a big one for me.

hugs to you!

Congratulations on saying NO MORE and working to live life as it was meant to be We are here for you all the way to goal

Damn, mersh. Your heart and you body must have been hurting so bad. I'm so happy you saved yourself.

Look how far you have come

Thanks everyone for sharing! I don't want this to be a thread that makes us feel bad, I want it to be confirmation of our success. And if I were a newbie, inspirational

LOOK AT HOW FAR WE HAVE COME

Only speaking for me: I don't feel bad. It's cathartic and a reminder of what we have in common.

it!
