Need some people to talk to who understand what it's like...

I totally relate I'm the heaviest I've ever been at just over 27st I felt such a shame but am working towards getting healthy and loosing weight and if we all got eachother then we can all give eachother support

Oh I heavens I understand that completely. There are times when I can be in a room full of people family members and feel like I'm the only person there. People tend to think that when you're a super size plus size that you're not smart enough to get into conversations. They also feel they have the right to say whatever they want about you and I don't know how it anymore I'm currently heading towards 65 and I've been plus size since I was eight. I know no longer let people talk down to me or about me in front of me. I would be very happy to talk with you

Hi! I am a human existing in a fat body. I won't give numbers or clothing sizes because those things don't matter but I can relate to "really overweight". Though I also find the term overweight to be problematic. I've done a ton of work the past several years on dismantling internalized fat phobia and my advice for anyone here struggling with this issue is to do the same. I still struggle with body image but when it comes to making changes in my life I orient myself toward my health not my weight or size. Which, when you choose to take this path, you'll learn that weight has nothing to do with health. I've created these rules for myself on social media that help a shit ton: 1) follow people that look like me 2) unfollow anyone promoting diet culture or body shaming (even people who look like me do that sometimes like in this thread) Feel free to DM me if you want to talk about this more, it's something I am very passionate about.

One idea is to find an online support group specifically for others who have had the same surgery!! My partner did the gastric bypass almost 2 years ago, and even though she kind of hates going to support group, I know she also appreciates having a place to talk about with people who at least somewhat get it, because she still joins every month.

I can relate ✋ I’ve lost 35 pounds so far but it’s def been a struggle. I need to lose about 150lbs total

I’m a size 26 and come from a family of big woman. It took me a long time to accept my body and to dress how I want to but I slowly got there. Always here if you a need friend x

I can relate I'm a 320lbs 5'3 woman

I’m in the same boat as you ladies I went from being a size 16 in high school and after I’ve fluctuated weight from being a size 18. I’m a size 20-22 right now. I weigh about 280 right now and it’s the heaviest I’ve ever been. I’m trying to get back to weighing 230 and under. So you’re not alone in this. Feel free to reach out to me if you need to talk.

I suffer from being overweight too. But my cardiologist actually recommended nd referred me to a medical weight loss doctor so I'll take meds instead of the surgery to lose weight. I hate my body I feel gross in it. But I can't physically exercise because I'm so big nd can't walk or stand long distances. 😕 but my boyfriend says he loves my body. But I jus can't love it. I wanna be healthier.

I gained about 80 lbs in less than one year and lived as "obese" for a decade. I recently lost most of that weight due to health issues killing my appetite(for 6+ months). Feel free to chat with me anytime.

I can relate, I went from a size 12-14 to a size 22. I hate how my body makes me feel so uncomfortable and iv lost my confidence. Iv tried every diet going as well as exercise and always end up back at square one if I have a fibromyalgia flare up. I'm dreading summer coming it's when I feel my worst!
