Not that many people are big-boned.

What if you don't like being healthy?

What if you don't like having more energy? What if you don't like shopping for cute clothing in regular sizes? What if you don't like outstanding nutrition that gets you off your meds and reduces inflammation? What if you don't like getting compliments? What if you don't like not having to go to the doctor all the time?

You are in the hardest part of the process right now.....worrying and waiting. If you are not getting support from family and friends, then come here to the forum. We'll talk you down from the ceiling.

Big boned, thick, prettiest big woman, beautiful face, etc...heard it all before. All excuses. The facts are that being Obese/Morbidly Obese will cause your lifespan to be uncomfortable, full of meds/ailments & ultimately shortened.. I'd rather live longer than be the prettiest fat girl in the room.
