Hi Hazelangel,
I don't have your diagnosis, and there is no way that I can understand what you are faced with, but I had to post a response.
I feel so bad for people who go through such terrible experiences like you have. You are taking the right steps toward a healthier lifestyle, and for that I congratulate you! It is a struggle for anyone who needs to lose weight, but you are going through so much more than most of us can comprehend.
I am trying to lose weight by exercising and eating healthy. I'm more of an emotional eater, or compulsive eater, so my greatest challenge is to stop eating when I'm satisfied. I'm learning, but it's a struggle every day.
Keep trying to get heathy, consider your two beautiful daughters and the example you are setting for them. I also have a daughter & I am terrified that the only thing she will learn from me is bad eating habits, poor self-image, and laziness. I'm also afraid that if I continue to live this unhealthy lifestyle I won't live long enough to see her grow up. So now I'm trying to set an example of healthy behavior.
I wish you the best & hope you find the strength to achieve your goals - here, in church, with your family, in counseling, whatever it takes. You are worth the effort and so are your girls!!
Roo
