I have to sit sideways so I can get my leg up on the couch so that I can put on my socks and shoes. I have heel spurs cause of to much weight on my heels. I avoid booths as much as possible. Thank you for the honesty.

I have, in the past 2 years, lost 123 pounds.I have found other things to replace food as my comfort. I like to go for long walks now when I am depressed. For a long time I was in denial about my weight. Oh, I knew I was fat, just not how fat. I would routinely tell people I weighed 250 pounds. Imagine my shock and disgust when on a dreary afternoon in December of 2011 I weighed in at 343. Wow. I have since monitored my calorie intake religiously, exercised and actually measured out portion sizes correctly. Now, I proudly tell people I weigh 220 pounds.

As a woman who has been overweight for the last 17 of my 40 years, I believe you are right, in a sense. I was very unhappy with my body when I weighed 130 pounds and believed I was overweight. I wasn't diagnosed with being anorexic, but I ate as little as possible, exercised every single day, and suffered from depression. <br /> Now, I am truly overweight. I need to lose at least 80 pounds to get back to being healthy. I know the correct steps I need to take, I know the right foods, the right exercises, everything. I even lost 35 pounds earlier this year, by doing exactly that. Then I gave up on myself again. And that is my worst struggle. I don't like me, and I most certainly don't love me. I know these issues go much deeper than what I put in my mouth, and the extra weight that keeps me in a perpetual state of embarrassment does not help matters. <br /> To some it up, you're right. I don't know anyone that is unhealthily overweight that is truly happy. I'm not saying anything about thick women, just about the ones that have such a truly unhealthy lifestyle that contributes to their obesity. I'm not saying we aren't beautiful, just not deep-down truly happy.
