I never thought I would be doing this, but I have tryed everything out there to lose the weight, and nothing worked . So for a long time I was in denial and had to come to terms with the truth," I can't do this alone, I need help". I am glad there are people that can support you on this site, for no one ever believes you, they just say what they think they should say, but you can feel it (negativity). Thank you Elite53

This is a surprise to me being she knows how I feel about needles and pain....Why would she not be on my side? Help me to try and understand?Yes I am 350lbs and looking for the best way to come out of my skin.
