Hello,long story short frustration brought me here.I was bullied all my life and I ended up hating my body,I fear judgement,and mirrors.

Today I binged again and I figured I need help.
I might also have pcos(not sure).
And I really need a low carb diet buddy.
I've been trying to lose those 30 pounds since high school and I simply can't and is ruining my life.I don't know what to do.

It breaks my heart to see someone so down on themselves!!! You're not a fattie landing, you are confidence taking off!!! This is the start of a journey and I welcome you here and wish you the best of luck.

30 pounds you can and will put behind you when you find what works for you. I get the teasing, at high school I wasn't even as plump as I am now and my friends even called me a whale sometimes. I'd feel bad and give them clothes I just bought at the thrift store to them cause I thought they were prettier than me and I didn't deserve it. How messed up is that? But no more!

I wish I could offer you my services as a low-carb buddy, but I'm not really on a low carb diet There are plenty of people here who are though, and I hope you find the perfect place where you fit! Don't be afraid to browse around. You can get through it... And you can succeed!!

Oh you like Jane Austen?Looking at your username,I love that book.
Anyway yes,I got trough all those...hard times in high school and now in college I am completely isolated.
Even though my mild depression might not be caused only by being overweight it would sure help me a lot if I could lose those pounds.

[SenseAndSensibility]

Yeah, I'm fan, and that one is my favourite book
I also just thought it was a good sentiment

You have a plan and that is the second step most people miss! Even having a routine and knowing you're really doing something helps you feel better, at least it did for me. Even now, I can't really see the difference... Its like my brain is just stuck at almost 200 pound me.

I'm glad to hear that I found another Jane Austen fan .
I am going strong on low carb,I mixed low carb with fasting every other day (600 calories in the fast day) and 1200 calories the next day.

Hi Furille, I am all grown up and still battle with those demons. My teenage daughter suffers depression and poor body image. I'm doing all I can to improve myself so I can help her.
You are the start of something new, and things can only get better, one small step at a time. Might as well jump in with both feet cos time will pass anyway....

I am doing low carb high fat. I started on Sunday, am in ketosis and feeling good. I look forward to sharing your journey

Welcome!

I was bullied for a long time! Kid, jr high, high school and into adult hood!

But one day! I got tired of the crap! And I had a fit! Most importantly, I found that I had a backbone! And a voice, and an opinion! And I decided, I was tired of being the one that took the blame, for whatever all the people in my life, said that I was at fault for!

It is ok, to be reasonable and polite, but that does not mean we need to let others walk all over us like a mud rug. Ironically, when I found the backbone, and backed myself up, the yukky people in my life, left real quick, and found other people to annoy! Good Riddance!

As far as a food plan/diet, you need to have patience, and figure out what works for you long term, as a "healthy lifestyle", that you can live with.
