Those Of You Who Weigh 300 Pounds Or More, How Often Do You Get Fat-shamed?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Berkeley, CA

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?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
St. Louis, MO

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.

I use Equal, but I don't know the side effects if any. I hear that none of it is really good for you?

Does Anyone Get Angry Over Weight?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Preston, ID

I have more desire to lose weight than I can express. Yet, some of my disability keeps me from doing things that can help me shed that weight. I want to go on a supplement, but all of them require exercise.. I can't exercise because of my Dystonia. I get so angry because I KNOW all the right things to do, but I can't do them! How do you deal with the war going on in your head over weight issues?

From everything I have read, most studies haven't really went into other conditions. They tend to stick with Dystonia as the primary issue or a secondary issue caused by Parkinson's, MS, etc.

I'm currently on levothyroxine for my Thyroid, My energy sucks, I get like, 1 week a month where I can be booming around doing stuff, getting stuff done and those other 3 weeks of the month I'm downright land down.

How Do You Handle A Spouse (family Member, Friend) Who Is Too Supportive And Understanding?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Cranston, RI

My husband always tells me that I look great and that he loves me no matter what. Tough problem, right? :-) But I don't feel great. I felt great when I was 40 lbs lighter. I accept what he says and let it sway me to act in a way that is not in my best interests - going out to eat, eating what I know I shouldn't, drinking, not exercising. I know I wouldn't want him to think less of me or love me less because of my weight. I just want to know how to not use it as an allowance or excuse for… read more

Are There Any Regular Members On Here To Correspond With???

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Tallahassee, FL

Hi! I have a question? Are there any members on here who really write and respond on here! I know sometimes we may drop off for some reason but it would be nice to state that! When looking for friends, some haven’t been on here all the way back to 2017. This should be set out to automatically block those who don’t respond within so many days. When they chose to come back, administrators would have to approve! It would be nice if the hobbies separated the members or something that would stand out… read more
