Hello everyone

My story is no different than most I'm sure. I'm 25 and severely overweight. I found this site tonight because I needed to find some people who would understand where I am. So I did a google search for "overweight and lonely".....and here I am. I've been struggling with weightloss since I was in elementary school. Now in my mid 20's its worse than ever. My heaviest weight was in the 360's. I've been able to get down to the 320's but everyday is a struggle. And being alone in this struggle is definitely making it worse. I feel ugly and unloveable today. I know people are going through worse things in the world like cancer and other diseases, but I just feel like obesity is my disease. I know I'm just rambling, but I'm just really trying to find any outlet other than the donuts and burger's I've already eaten today to try and NOT go back to where I was before.

Thanks for reading.
