My name is Melissa I am 19 years old and over 300lbs. I have been big since I was 7 or 8 years old and it just won't go away. All through out middle school and high school I was very active. I played in all kinds of sports and ran all over the neighborhood with friends,but I just continued to climb the scale. My mother never helped. She teased me about my body all of my childhood. By the time I was 17 I got to the point where I literally started to starve myself and just exercises. It was like an addiction and the weight was just falling off. After that point it hit me that I was just ment to be fat...even though I was so under weight I looked dead I still saw nothing but fat. After that I just started binge eating. FYI not a good idea..lol I gained all my weight plus 100lbs more then what I was before. I was so depressed and angry at myself. I finally went to stay with a friend of the family...who recently became my mother in law. She is big also and I found so much comfort in knowing she knew my pain and my feelings of what I was going through. Now she is up to have Gastric bypass and I couldn't be more excited for her. I wish I could be in her shoes but unfortunately don't have that kind of money or insurance. So I thought why not do the diet with her as she does it. I'll treat the situation as if I had the surgery and follow her until I get the hang of the diet. The only difference is I can start exercising sooner...so I decided to start this page so I can find love,support, and encouragement so I can help her succeed and maybe help myself. Thanks for reading!
