Ht. 5'3", Start: 353 lb, Today: 369 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - I posted a while ago, after I went to the doctor and then my mom made me run. my mom has kept trying to get me to run, but usually i just walk a little and then rest and then walk a little more. I have put on more weight. i just cant stop, and i honestly dont know what to do. I have tried eating less but the food is so good, and when I am sad I eat. when I get home from school,i usually pretty much eat until i go to sleep. my mom didnt even notice that i gained weight, my stomach is so big now you cant even tell when i get fatter. i cant fit my pants around my stomach anymore so i have to button them under it, but then it hangs out and i dont know what to do to make it stay in my shirt. i fell yesterday in the shower and i couldn't get up and i had to call my mom in. she had to get my dad and my brother to help me get back up. i was stuck in the bathtub for like ten minutes, because i am wider than the tub and too fat to get up on my own. i really need help. i am so scared of reaching 400 pounds because then i know i am only going to get fatter and never lose weight. :(

Kathy,
Stay hopeful! You can still be healthier and happier. I think of it as fixing a boat. Would you take the whole thing apart and rebuild it at once? No, just a little bit by a little bit. I have issues with my weight too, and seeing your post really helped me feel I wasn't the only one, so thank you.
Good luck! I hope this helped.

Kathy, email me. We can help each other lose weight. This is very sad. I know you can stop eating this way. Cut your servings in half. Set yourself to have 3 big meals a day and 2-3 medium sized snacks a day. Limit your milk, soda and juice intake to only 1 can a day. Walk for 30 minutes to 45 minutes whenever you can. Allow yourself 1 sweet a day, example, a cookie.
Please contact me and I'll put you together a weight loss plan that will be easy to follow and will increase when you lose weight. Its not the end of your life, its a new beginning.

You can do it.
