Question Why do they call them empty calories? When they clearly make your clothes fill out. Ha! Ha!

Hello everyone,
I am new to this site and I think it is a blast. A place we can vent. I am a very sick woman looking for ansewers not a quick fix but true HELP.
I am a food addict I admit to this daily. I can not control my food intake. I try hard all day. By the evening I have failed. I have been searching for a food addiction facility near by. So far the closes one is Florida. I wonder dose anyone know of a place closer? I need help before this addiction takes my life. I am 478 pounds and I did not realize how out of control I was. Depression over a bad divorce, lossing my home and job and marriyng again to an acholic drug user has gotten me here. I eat because I can't control the things around me. It is silly but I don't understand how I got here. I am so tried of being tired all the time. I can't walk to my mail box anymore. I can't clean my house without my childrens help. I am stuck in this over sized body that I can't control any more. My knees are gone. I mean wore out from tring to hold this body. I know I am the only one who can truly put a stop to this terrible cycle and I am willing to work hard at getting better. I just need a little help. Thanks for listening,

I heard this saying and it helped me. I hope it helps you. It goes.....If food is not the problem then it is not the solution. I think of that whenever I get stressed out or upset.

Hi Ladies, and

HUGS !!!!!
