Is someone here willing to listen and offer some support? sweatdrop

You can post here to support us all.

Okay thanks. Well, for most of my life I was always the thin and pretty girl, but something bad happened and I had to be put on medication which is making me gain a lot of weight. I've gained double my size in just two years (from 100lbs to 200lbs), and frankly I'm sick of it. I feel and look horrible.

I joined a gym and then I quit. I quit because they told me that I have a fitness level of a 70 year old. It was shocking to me because I was always so active. I felt like a fat lump compared to all those skinny girls.

I barely leave the house and my weight is taking over my life. I have enemies, and if they see me fat and horrible looking like this, they'll make a big deal outta it.

I'm joining a college soon, maybe I'll make friends. I just want this weight gone by next year.

Dont let Fitness age fear you, they are just a saying to show you how weak you are, if you keep going to the gym, you will be dropped to better age of fitness over the time. I once had 58 years old fitness number but now I dropped it to 19, younger than my age but I am still overweight as well.

Dont give up, College usually have gym and I am sure you will make new friends there! smile

I quit that gym long ago. I also feel very uncomfortable working out in front of people. I have a stationary bike, treadmill, and dumbells at home. I'm trying to make use of it, but I always tell myself that I'll do it tomorrow.

How long did it take you to reach age 19?

3 months. If you keep tell yourself "I will do it tomorrow" you will most likely to forget about it. Best thing to do is, do right now!

Have you ever been picked on, made fun of, bullied or harassed because of your weight? How did that make you feel? What did you do about it and does it still effect you today?

Unfortunately, I think it's happened more from my own blood family than strangers. My mother still likes to complain about my figure to this day. I remember she kept nagging me and calling me anorexic because I wasn't hungry for dinner (despite nothing she cooked being vegetarian). I think my family really despised me, which was really hurtful. They were always talking about me behind my back and laughing at me, and when we were in the same room the atmosphere was always awkward. At school, I was teased, strangely, by a fat kid during lunch. So I got extremely pissed and stopped eating lunch altogether, and later breakfast out of convenience. So then I went from being teased about eating to teased about not eating. And I guess that about sums it up. I cannot eat in public because of this, nor can I eat in front of my blood family.

Looking back on it now, I don't feel nearly as bad. The healthful choices I was making at 4 have prolonged my life expectancy far beyond the life expectancy of my family and peers. My food choices and eating habits have greatly reduced the chance of many cancers and degenerative disorders present in my bloodlines, and have even been shown to slow aging.
