Congratulations Kellie Jack I believe you

Ira, THANKS FOR THE coffee !!!!! My treat next time, I mean it !!!!!!

I don't think in all cases the parents are "letting" them get fat. Its not necessarily that they are eating to much, it might be lack of exercise. I know a few kids that really don't eat that much, and I often wonder how they can survive on so little, but because of "today's world" they lack the exercise/activity to burn it off. Growing up I remember being made fun of because I was fat. I remember not being invited to my own siblings parties b/c they were embarassed of me. So what is that teaching me??? It was teaching me that "fat is bad." I have gone through part of my life making fun of others because I was made fun of. I will not spend the rest of my life like that. I have learned to have compashion for others, praise God!! I've learned to look at people and think how I would feel if I were in their shoes (guess what, I AM them, I AM in their shoes). How else can some one show compashion unless they've been there themselves. ALL of you are wonderful, helping, caring, beautiful people, if you didn't care you wouldn't be posting

See ya tonight

Thats strange because clothing thats made for the "larger" person is usually geared towards the shorter person. Well at least thats what I run into when I go shopping. I can never find anything to fit my long legs

I feel like this is my only hope left, but because of past failures I also feel like I'm going to fail at this too. I don't want to fail, I'm going to fight w/everything I have but the feelings are very real and they are there. Why is it so hard to make them go away? Did / does anyone feel like this too?

WOWOEEEEEEEEEEE GREAT JOB !!!!! Congratulations

Congratulations !! I'm glad she's doing well

Delarla... quarters GOOD IDEA WTB, sorry you went on an eating binge, but I can honestly say I know just how you felt / feel. Actually I am 100 lbs overweight so I do fall in the category but the dream was wild. The dream reminded me of how I think of myself. Meaning, I don't deserve this help, I don't deserve anything good, or anything that will help me be the person I want to be. When will I learn?

Miko, I would suggest talking to your doctor first

They do make those Protein bars that are low carb but be careful, if you get into stuff like that, the sugar alcohols might reek havoc with your system. And remember low carb frankenfoods are high in fat (well lots of them are). Now do you mean carry with you, like you can leave in your car or just carry with you through out the day? For daily stuff, there's: soy Beans (flavored or plain), almonds, pork rinds, deviled eggs, deli meats & cheeses, celery, strawberried, cantelope, lc tortilla wraps, precooked turkey bacon, lc Protein Drink, lc chips at the supermarket, string cheese. There's lots of stuff in the stores now a days thats low carb and can travel well, just read the ingredience and serving size.

I had a dream last night that I was at the surgeons office having my consultation. He put me on the scale and said NOPE, you don't qualify, you are 11 lbs under the accepted weight. Boy did I cry (in my dream) I remember saying to the doctor, can't you just write that I'm ###lbs or if you want I'll come back next week. I can gain 11 lbs in one week, I really can. Please don't shut me out, please please please I need your help and I have no where else to go. I've done all this work for nothing Can you imagine gaining 11 lbs in 1 week LOLOL !!! but in my dream I was convinced that I could do it. Now tell me I aint' sick dreaming about this sort of stuff LOL.

I eat cause I'm miserable and I'm miserable because I eat

Brenda, since you up'd your exercise, it could be that you are indeed losing fat and gaining muscle Your stats just blow me away *BRAVO*
