You can have friends too
Quote From: lonalea200I wish people knew what it was like to be obese. That is it...I am fat. I don't know why my body insists on eating. My stomach doesn't say "hungry". It is my taste buds that scream " Food" ! So I feel that I am eating for mental reasons rather than physicall hunger. What do we do? It is a constant battle. We eat because we are fat and people make fun of us which makes you more hungry and depressed. I don't just sit down and pig out on a box of donuts everymorning. Matter of fact..I am a diabetic because of my weight. I very rarely eat a candy bar, but when I buy one, I feel like the whole world is watching and thinking, "That fat person is eating Candy !!!". the guilt is so strong. I can't enjoy a good treat without thinking. I know that I shouldn't care about what people think, but you know what....I do. I want people to like me. I want to have friends. When you must go a life of ridicule and no friends, ( true friends), you see how important it is to have a friend. I am a good person. I wish people knew what it was like to have people pay more attention to weight than who you are. I have yet to find someone to agree. Maybe I am wrong, but I think not. Everybody needs a friend. I just don't have one. They say the best way to have a friend is to be one. I'd like to invite you to come and be a friend to our group here on the Dr. Phil message boards--there's a special board called 200 pounds or more to lose. But we also have a few people with a little less than 200 lb. to lose. Yes, we are obese, but we are helping one another to get healthy. Many of our members are diabetic or insulin resistant. We are all good people and caring. You won't find criticism there--just loving, caring help from friends who are in the same boat. I hope you'll look us up and join our little group. Together we are doing it!! And we all need more friends, so won't you please come and help us too?
