Hi everyone, I'm 24 years old and I weigh 268 lbs. I haven't been under 200 lbs since 7th grade, and I've tried almost every single diet out there. I've lived for research on weight loss, I'm really smart at "how" to lose weight, but it's not working for me. I've tried weight watchers in the past, but my lifestyle is too busy to count points. I've cut calories, increased activity but I haven't seen any results. I have been using a CPAP machine since I was a senior in high school, I've got hosimotos (sp?) hypothyroidism, and nearly debilitating anxiety and depression. I know I'm an emotional eater, and I even think to myself when I'm eating that I'm not hungry I'm just upset. I work at a nursing home, and the residents are very cruel about my weight. One resident has even gone so far to suggest that I was molested as a child and I'm eating to forget, umm that never happened, and I was thoroughly embarrassed infront of coworkers and other residents. With so many people making their "helpful" comments I've truly quit caring about my weight; there are enough people worrying about it for me. I want to start caring again, this isn't living, this is a 24 year old person waiting to die. Also, yes I do see a counselor just to stop that question in it's tracks. Any tips, success stories, and positive input will be greatly appreciated.
