Hello everyone.
I am a 37 year old man, married with 2 kids. I am morbidly obese, I have sleep apnea, high blood pressure, fatty liver disease and chronic joint pain. I am 6 foot 2 inches and weigh 415 pounds. I am 200 pounds heavier than I was in college. I suffer from depression and anxiety disorders. I am miserable at this weight and yet I can't stop eating. I know I am a food addict and have no self control. I keep thinking about looking into Gastric Sleeve. I am so unhappy with my weight and health. I have even thought about killing myself due to my weight and low self esteem. I found this forum while looking for support groups online. I know my eating is killing me and yet I can't stop. I am addicted to pizza and fast food. I don't really know what I hope to accomplish by posting on here but thought maybe someone could relate or help. I used to go to OverEaters Anonymous but never really had any success with it and haven't gone in over 10 years.

I'm sorry you're feeling hopeless tonight.


You aren't alone. There are so many people out there like you/us. You're only 415 lbs. You can turn this ship around. If I'm feeling down, I watch a few episodes of My 600 lb Life on youtube. There are people there who have topped 700 lbs and were able to change their lives drastically. Listening to them, I hear myself. I've decided I don't want to be that person. You're worth the time and effort to take care of yourself. If you can find a support IRL, that will help you in addition to online.
