I too wandered the same thing. I lost 50 pounds by starving myself and I still did not get below 200. I gained back sixty. Nothing fits. I need this for a tool in order to live longer and be healthy for my children. I want to run and play with my kids instead of sitting on the bench watching. I want to skate with the kids. I want to be the happy person that is trapped inside this huge body. I want to stop being the pretty fat girl and to stop hiding behind my own fat jokes.
