Just 5 pounds
I weigh 635 pounds as of May 1, 2008. I've been to a binge eating program, an eating disorder clinic and am currently seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist. The best I've done in the last two years is maintain my weight. While this is better than my normal twenty or so pounds put on per year, I haven't actually lost weight. I don't know how or if I can do it. It has been proven that less than 10% of morbidly obese people are able to take the weight off and keep it off. The only way I can accomplish this is to concentrate on losing just five pounds. That is something I *know* I can do. Thinking beyond that makes me feel helpless and hopeless.

I'm rooting for you. Losing weight is SO HARD, and it doesn't seem to matter if the amount is big or small. My 13 year old just confessed that she weighs more than me, (and I'm not exactly skinny) but she's such a sugar a holic, I'm not totally surprised.

I'll try and concentrate with you on those 5 lbs, and send good thoughts your way... hang in there!
