| Hello to All ^_^
Hello
Well just signed up. I found this site as I was looking an in patients obesity clinic. I had hopes to go to Brookhaven however my husband said he called and they said they didn’t take people from out of state. They are in NY and me am in MO. Once again a road block to my pile of them. I refuse to give up however. I know I won’t get the help I need in my own home due to well people just not caring so I need to fight for myself. It’s not going to be easy I have a huge issue with being outside. Well not outside really just people. I can’t look people in the eyes and most of the time when I have to talk to them I will end up breaking down and crying. Clearly obesity is not the only problem I need to work on but I think it’s the one right now putting my life at risk.
Humm just found out maybe Brookhaven does take out of state people. Maybe there is still hope for help from them. I will have to look into it.
Well that’s a little about me and mainly I just wanted to say hello to you all. |

Hello!!!  Welcome! So your husband called and he said they don't take out of state people but when you looked into it, you found out they do?
You are right, you should never give up. It's helpful to find people who are behind you 100% of the way (like us .gif ";)") )

Thanks for the welcome and reply!
As to answer you I saw on the TLC show they did they had people from other states and some people have told me that they do. My husband does not always tell me the truth on things so am having a good friend call for me to find out. I would call myself but there is no phone but my husband’s cell and I have a rather bad fear of talking with and having people see me. I rarely leave my house. Not only is it hard physically to get out but emotional it is as well.
Anyways yes I can use all the support I can get to help me reclaim my life so thanks again. | |

If the clinic doesn't work out for you, we'd be more than happy to do what we can to help you accomplish your weight loss goals. We can layout how to do it if you'd like, just say the word.

Yeah I will be very upset but am use to my husband not telling me the truth or telling me anything really. I am stuck in my room all the time and he never wants to be around me or just even hang out ad talk anyone is more important then I am. Let me tell you a little more about me. Well am 24 am married to a man that does not anymore love me maybe never did and I have one son who is 3 years old who I love with all my heart but he does have special needs. My husband has said my son would be better off if I was out of his life even dead then gave me a speech on how I should not fear death. I have a mother who has always cared more about the man she is with then me and a few friends over the net I am to sacred to met due to my fear of people seeing me. Or maybe it more of me seeing them with disgust on there face maybe both I don’t know. Oh yes am also obese and very rarely leave my home cause of the seeing people and the fact that its hard for me to get around as I have hip and back problems. For the past 3 years almost now I have just sat in my room on my computer, watching TV, playing as much as I can with my son, and eating and eating and eating. Well am threw with it and want some more filling of a life. I am trying to take action and though its not easy and there has been many of set backs I refuse to give up. Am not sure what you might have in mind that would help but am more then willing to listen. Its not like am going anywhere. Well I might go lower to the floor if this bed am on breaks any more then it has. Eh that was a semi joke to try and lighten all the heavy stuff I threw out there but it might be more funny if it was not true.  | |

When I say how to eat I'm really saying how many calories, although what you eat also makes a difference. It's really as simple as counting your calories and shooting for an approximate calorie intake each day. If you're willing to do that, then you can lose as much weight as your heart desires.

I can tell you already I don’t eat healthy but I don’t get to pick the food bought and I think if I ask for veggies or fruit to be got again (without results I might add) I am going to just get my husband ranting about how much food costs and him being mad at me and not willing to help me for the rest of the day.
I can cut down on the intake of food though that will be hard as it’s a comfort thing for me. The situation of home life I am in is not good at all thus why am trying so hard to get out of here. | |

Although cutting down on the food intake might be hard because it's comforting, it's just a quick fix. Instead think of all that permanent pleasure and satisfaction that awaits you from avoiding those quick fixes.
It's really not as hard as you think it is, and a lot of people find it easier to follow a plan when you see it on paper. We can also teach you a few tricks that will make it easier for you to cut those calories....and it won't require starving yourself. Just about everyone says it was a lot easier than they thought it would be.

Welcome to the forums!
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time at home. Do you know why your husband didn't tell you the truth about the clinic? Maybe he doesn't want you to go?
But picking up where OD left off, counting calories is definetly not as hard as everyone seems to think it is. I've been keeping a food diary and counting calories for about three months now, and I'm so used to it! Everything has the nutritional ingredients on it, and you just need to make sure you're eating the right serving size. I've never felt starved while counting calories. I've been able to find tons of foods that are yummy and well within my calories. Sometimes I even have calories left over at the end of the day
How do you want to go about loosing weight if you don't get to go to the clinic?
