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

Any Advice On Just Getting Started

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Noxen, PA

I am having a hard time just finding the energy and motivation to even start anything. I know what I need to do, i make the plan to do it but then just can't bring myself to get moving. It's like I talk myself out of it before I even get started.

A MyObesityTeam Member

Put your music on every morning.

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

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.

A MyObesityTeam Member

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
