My husband told me once that I HAD to lose weight. I told him that I knew of a way I could lose 190 pounds real fast. D-I-V-O-R-C-E!!  He's never said a word about my weight since. Men are all bluster.

Yes you can lose weight.  But you are the only one who 'can' do it.   No one else can do it for you.  

   

I have Hashimoto's disease.  Back in 2000 I was misdiagnosed as being hypothyroid.  The doctor then told me I would be 400lbs by April of the next year.  He then laughed in my face and prescribed Meridia.   

   

I 'fired' him.   

   

To date I am now 189lbs down from 220lbs.   

   

That doctor was wrong about me, and you are wrong about yourself.   

   

The main thing you need to do, is to go to a GOOD doctor (not the NITWIT I went to) and have a full physical. Then together with that doctor determine what would be a safe 'weight plan' for you.   

   

You might be surprised to learn that many nutritionists are covered under many forms of medical insurance.   

   

Then you need to start on exercise.   

   

But the key, is to believe in yourself.   If you believe it, then you can work to achieve it.
