Those Of You Who Weigh 300 Pounds Or More, How Often Do You Get Fat-shamed?
Fat-shaming is very damaging and its perpetrators tend to be sadistic. What we need to know is who does it and why they do it. In motives we can discern actions, your story can help put an end to it. Be brave.
Elice, the sad truth is, most people who are super-obese literally expect that kind of thing, and are on guard against it constantly, which of course makes it worse. Thanks for sharing. Marion, good… read more
How Do I Stop Emotional Eating?
I eat when I am bored, I eat when I am tired, I eat when I am frustrated. I am constantly eating for reasons other than hunger. How do I stop? It's like it just slips under my radar and next thing I know, I have polished off a whole pie, or cookies or bag of potato chips.
Write your feelings down. Go for a walk.
Does Anyone Else Here Have Arthritis In Their Back And Knees? If So, What Treatments Have Worked For You?
I have arthritis in my back that has been treated with injections. I've even had the nerve endings in the L3-L5 region in my back burned and had a cortisol shot in my s1 region. The swelling is gone, but not the pain. My knees have been left untreated. The pain gets unbearable at times, but my doctor only says lose weight. I've told her several times that I'm usually an active person, but pain makes me not want to be active. I need relief. Any suggestions. I've already considered… read more

How Often Do You Weigh Yourself, If You Do At All?
I usually weigh myself once or twice a week to hold myself accountable.
Does Anyone Use Sweeteners And If So,, Have You Had Any Side Effects From Them? Opinions Are Welcome As Well.
I started using sweeteners in the past year and not sure how good they are for us. What kind is the best and which are the worse? I use Stevia or Trivia.
I use Equal, but I don't know the side effects if any. I hear that none of it is really good for you?
Dismissive Doctors?
Today was the 7th anniversary of me and my husband's first date. It would have gone really well, except for my arthritis. I've been in pain all day. Nothing seems to touch it. I've asked my doctor for help, and all I got was "Lose weight". Has anyone else been dismissed when they bring things like this up at the doctor's? What did you do?
Yes, sometimes you have to shop around for doctors that fit. I found that I stayed with mine too long it was time to look for a different nurse practioner or doctor. Time and health practices… read more

Have You Gotten A Liver Workup?
Posted recently about getting my liver tested. I received my results and I have fibrosis on my liver. I was given a new prescription that should help
My NP educated me quite a bit on the disease and figured I would share. Turns out, over 70% of diabetics and 90% of bmis over 35 have it. I’m both of those so makes sense
So this is more of a PSA to the group to check on your liver.
Hopefully yall can detect it earlier. I got the OWLiver done which I overall liked and supposedly is best for… read more
Wow Karen! Thanks for that. That was more than I knew! I’d definitely recommend. We all are at high risk for fatty liver with our weight😓 Found the company that has the test. Maybe they’d help (Phone… read more
