I Am Trying To Lose Weight And Get Healthy

I wish that every person (on here and in real life) who ever gave me a hard time about my excess weight, every body shaming jerk I've ever encountered, could be awake tonight like I am suffering hunger pangs, and overwhelming food cravings. Food deprivation makes me very grouchy.

Our struggles aren't us. And if someone wishes to help, the best way is by being supportive not by shaming. It only brings people down and makes it difficult for them to accept the gradual nature of progress. Whereas support helps them understand they should do it for themselves.

I was underweight for most of my life . It took me two years of excercice and diet to gain seven kgs and reach my ideal weight. All of the negativity did nothing but make me lose interest in food even more.

I wish you the best. And I hope you completly detach your self views from their conclusions. There will always be pain but this pain is worth it, it is for your own wellbeing, it is your rebirth.

@Darkcosmos: Thank you. I commend you for getting your own weight under control. Not easy, but worth it, I'm sure.

It's become very hard to maintain weight; the aging process does not help either. They say it's all about portion control but it becomes more and more difficult to get out and exercise. Winter is a killer for me due to SAD and I have no desire to do anything. Plus add a medical problem or two and it all goes to hell. Hang in there!

@rickoo164: Having to be on a perpetual weight control diet adds a lot of stress to my life. It's necessary for me. But it really makes me miserable at times.

@greenmountaingal: Are you feelling down right now, is anything that I could do for you ?...

@rickoo164: Thanks. I am awake and hungry. I appreciate your response and kind words. Have you ever struggled with weight? Being overweight is a condition no one sympathizes with.

@Psychoticenlightment: I admire you! Although I've never been a smoker, I understand cigarettes are one of the toughest addictions to break.

@Psychoticenlightment: Eat 3-4 raw Brazil nuts every day or at least 3 times a week. If you read up on Brazil nuts, you'll find they can do a lot to lower cholestetol. Also, putting sunflower lecithin in your cereal at least 3 times a week can help unclog arteries.
