Ht. 5'8", Start: 247 lb, Today: 228 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 147 lb - Alone is not even a word I would use to describe how I feel right now. Perhaps isolated, abandoned and crap. I've not lost any weight in weeks! My parents have limited gym hours to 3 a week due to upcoming exams which is annoying. The exersice part is going okay I guess it's just the diet part. Mum never has any vegetables or healthy food in the house even though she knows I'm eating healthy. They were supportive for a bit but now nothing... It's just aggravating because I've got LOADS of weight to lose but it's not going anywhere! Feel like just giving up sometimes.

Many people find help in Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous. Some of us have been diagnosed as morbidly obese while others are undereaters. Among us are those who were severely bulimic, who have harmed themselves with compulsive exercise, or whose quality of life was impaired by constant obsession with food or weight. We tend to be people who, in the long-term, have failed at every solution we tried, including therapy, support groups, diets, fasting, exercise, and in-patient treatment programs.
