Im at the point where I don't care if ever wake up and see tomorrow cause Im only going to be miserable and be made fun of as always and cry myself to sleep like I do everynight. I found this site searching for hope but I believe Im doomed to a early grave.
Hey back at you The_Zen, glad you took the time to learn about us. If you are truly ready to start your journey to getting healthy, you couldn't have chosen a better place. You will find information, caring and support, but you will have to make the commitment to ensure your success. I know you have heard this before, but you will need to consult a physician to monitor you as you begin the "first day of the rest of your life". Getting healthy is doable, but there is no quick fix unless you have one of the weight loss surgical procedures that are now available. You are worth the effort, which ever path you take. Just think about the outcome and how your life will improve. Allow yourself to dream about the possibilities. We have all felt miserable about our weight, and some of us have cried, so we know how you are feeling. Join us by putting one foot in front of the other and proceed into the future as you become a healthier and happier person. You can do this, don't even think of giving up... we are here.
