My weight is stressing me out!

It really sucks. I went from 210 last May back to my starting weight of 240. Its so freaking stressful and frustrading. I don't really know what I want to do. I want surgery, then I don't, then I do. I feel like I'm trying to do it on my own, there's way too many temptations inbthis house and too uch junk food. I feel like I try and my mom too...but we give in. I try to watch what I eat but sometimes I just say screw it, what's the point anymore. I feel like its too hard on my own. At least when

i don't think anyone reads these blogs anymore...

So, I think I have decided to go through with surgery. So first thing is first, I'm going to set up an appointment with my surgeon, hopefully I can get in some time in April. I'm going to just talk to him about the surgery choices. I'm really thinking about Plication surgery. I d9nt care how long it'll take to get approved as long as its after July.

Feel like a major failure.

i'm gaining, instead of losing.   im hungry most of the time and then again i skip meals   not exercising, dont have motivation.   i dont know i seem like i cant do anything right.   i guess i'm going to have to live my life being fat.   can't find the help anywhere and not even on here it seems.   i hate myself for letting me get this way.   i'll never get to goal and i know it..

stressed and discouraged

hey, so i feel really stressed and discouraged. i dont feel like doing anything. im always craving the bad stuff. i havent been making good food choices. sometimes i can barely eat, i dont feel like i eat enough which doesnt make sense. i cant motivated myself to exercise, i feel like nothing is happening for me. im getting depressed about it more and more each day. i dont want to talk to anyone about it but i wish i had someone to do this with and i dont, im all by myself on this one. maybe i n
