Hi all:

I am new here and don't know what to do. I have been trying to lose weight for the past 3 years. I not only have the problem of being overweight, but I am incontinent as well. I am in diapers 24/7.

I would like to lose weight so I don't look like a blimp anymore. I can't seem to find clothes that fit decent and I'm tired of little kids always pointing their finger at me and saying she's fat mommy.

I spend night after night crying myself to sleep.

Help me please.

Hi Maggie,

I'm Mary, I am new here too and just posted an official introduction a few minutes ago.

I totally understand your frustration. I have been trying to lose weight for over a year with practicaly no success. Last saturday was the last straw. I went into a store and was asking about my size in certain pants and the lady said: regular pants or would you rather have the maternity version. i went BLANK!!
I know that this is not going to be easy but i think the first step is that we want to do something about it and Seriously! If you need a buddy to lose weight with, i can give you my email.

Remember that what you weigh is not what you are. I have no doubt that you are a sweet and kind person. And being fit will just be a plus!! You can do it!!

Hi Mary:

This is Maggie and yes that would be so sweet if you would consider being my buddy. Yes I know how it feels to go shopping for clothes and the other day a little girl said to her mom right in my ear shot mind you. Mommy that lady is fat. I get so tired of hearing that and then of course I am incontinent and wear cloth diapers cause I am allergic to the disposable kind.

I am so tired of being fat Mary. My email address is meladyunicorn2001@yahoo.com I would love to hear from you.

Losing weight is hard enough than having to do it alone. I have been trying for 3 years now and no luck.

Hope to hear from you soon Mary.

Huggs,

Maggie

Hi maggie and welcome, I know how upsetting it can be to try and lose weight and have no success. I agree with shawna that you might want to talk to a Dr. about why you are not losing.even small changes like walking can make a huge difference in no only your weight but in how you feel. Good luck and keep us updated on how you are doing. sharla
