Hello everyone. I've been reading everyone's posts to others, especially us newbies and you all seem very nice and supportive - that's just what I need. I nearly 43, live alone (somewhat newly divorced) far away from family and friends and am struggling to lose what seems like a vary daunting amount of weight. But none of my friends or family understand what I'm going through as an obese woman - some need to lose some weight, perhaps even 50 or 60 pounds, but none of them understand the struggles of someone nearly 400 pounds. That's not to say that they don't struggle and it isn't hard for them, but what they don't understand is the particular struggles of someone my size - how hard it is on my little feet to carry this body; that a mile walk to me is very hard because of what I carry; or that even how hard it is to just do the simplest of things.
Anyway, sorry to babble...I think that hearing from others who might be like me or were like me, their struggles and their accomplishments and advice is really what I need because I now to the point in my life where I'm really scared of what I've let myself become.
I'd welcome any and all advice and support.
Dani
I live alone too, so I can sympathize there.
