At 450lb i could understand what put them in a position of not wanting to move or leave the house. I also could understand not having enough money to see a dr when they noticed how bad it bad getting. I can also understand being in an unhealthy relationship when you feel no one else will love you. Ive been through all these things at some point of my life. Hell i can even understand eatting to fill the void im sure we all can underatand that. But i hate their dr he is an a*****e. I could NEVER eat as much as they do. And how the hell did they make it pass 600lbs when i thought i was going to die at 450. But i watch it while i excercize because i feel like i can relate to alot of their issues and i know what im fighting for. I started this because of that show. I am fighting to not be them. Because i can understand them.

Most Dr. Dont have a problem with refering you if you are morbidly obese i hate that word. But my dr did want me to try and lose the weigh before she referred me but some surgeon offices does it all mine didnt but i didnt need a dr referrel to go to them i needed my dr to refer me to everyone else like for my lungs and heart and such. So i say go to your sergon office and find out what they need from you but i would still get a PCP because it good to have

Here's the thing, though... Our brain is trained to see us a particular way in the mirror, TRAINED. So it takes a bit of deprogramming as we lose weight for our brain to adjust. Instead of solely relying on the mirror use pictures. This is a great way to not only document your journey (trust me, a couple years down the road you'll wish you had) but it is an excellent tool to retrain your brain

I used to say, when I was at my heaviest, that I finally look how I felt all my life. Even when I was in the Army running 5 miles a day and in top condition at 120lbs I still felt like I looked like I was 309 lbs. The mirror shows you what you feel in your heart until you are ready to change you from the inside out. I had to change how I felt about me and not take peoples comments or ridicule as my own. I know I am 70 more lbs to my goal of 140 but I feel fantastic and sexier than when I was 120 lbs! Self esteem, fresh food and exercise work wonders! This site has such great support too! More power to you for taking the step to get YOU and YOUR life back!

I'm now down about a hundred and fourteen pounds and I still don't see it for some reason. Other people do and I did see a picture that does show a big difference, but my brain still needs to get it!

I used to only look in the mirror when they had to, a mere glance, when brushing my teeth or only looking at my face putting on makeup back when I got up to 392 lbs. When I started my health improvement journey I started Simi g at myself while brushing my teeth or hair etc. Smiles goes miles for your self esteem & your outlook framing the beginning of the day. So continue smiling BC your on a long but wonderful journey to regain your health & allowing your beauty to continue to shine from the inside out. Remember there isn't any magic pill or surgery, so don't beat yourself up if you happen to fall off track once in awhile BC you're so worth wanting to gain control of your emotions & eating healthy. Keep up the grr8 job you're doing!!
