Looking for a Serious, Committed Buddy.
I am twenty-one years old, and I weigh 248 lbs. I've been overweight for 10 years, but I gained nearly 55lbs in the past two. It's been so hard. I'm the only one in my family with a weight problem, and I'm tired of being the one that everyone stares at every family gathering.
In high school, all of my friends were overweight, but they used their senior year to drop lbs before going off to college. I didn't join them, because I thought that dieting would be admitting to the world that I was fat. It was a mistake. I am still fat, and now I don't have anyone to buddy with. I have only one plus-sized friend, and she says she's happy with her weight.
I can't keep doing this. It's so hard. I can never find anything to wear. When I shop, I have to go to specialty stores for plus-sized women, and they never carry anything long enough. I just don't have the money. Plus-sized clothes are always so expensive. I am so embarassed by the way I look.
I can't do this alone. I need help. I would like a buddy. Someone who is supportive and willing to check in every day or so would be excellent. I've just started the South Beach diet, and it might help if we're on the same diet. It isn't necessary. I will do everything I can to support a buddy who is willing to do the same.
