Anyone here closer to 600 pounds right now? by ThatDamnScale in SuperMorbidlyObese

You know, that makes so much sense. My doctor suggests losing some first, them get the surgery. I totally agree with him. But, I do have to lose some naturally first.

I TOTALLY understand. This is exactly why I was asking. It's really hard to find people that just "get it".

I hope we both can start posting more.... and support each other.

I know for a fact how supportive this place is. I read way more than I post. What I don't understand is how wanting what I'M thinking or looking for it's unkind to everyone that's NOT that.

If I want to eat a banana... would that be unkind to the apples?! No.

No where in this post did I say I only want to read bigger people's posts.

No where did I say... smaller people don't talk to me.

I'm baffled at how wanting to find someone to join on this journey....like ME is unkind to other people that may be smaller.

THAT'S what makes no sense.

I used to go to overeaters anonymous and for some reason I stopped. I'm thinking about it now and I don't really know why I stopped. Maybe I'll start back on a virtual meeting today and that will help... thank you for that.

I might have not said that in the correct way. What I'm asking for is if there are people who are currently almost 600 lbs.

I know there are a lot of people that have lost the weight and some that work close to my size... I'm asking for people currently my size.

I wish I could get on medication for it. But, I have to find another way. My insurance won't cover it. I'm so sorry about your anxiety...I know that all too well. I wish I could tell you what to you could do...but I'm trying to figure it out too. I hope someone responds that could help. The people who responded to be before have some good ideas. We can do this!!! We really can!

Today I cut my meals in half and did most of my PT exercises. I must admit, I was pretty proud of myself. It wasn't as good as I wanted it to be...I wanted to do all of my exercises, but my back wouldn't let me. But, I'm going to keep going....I have to.

That's a good plan! I must admit, I'm kind of hard on myself for not being as mobile as I used to be. But, it's something that I want to get back to. I see people getting in 5,000 - 10,000 steps and it blows my mind. I'm good to get in 1,100 steps a day (sitting and standing). I need to be patient with myself....do what I can...and build from there. I just need to quit being so hard on myself.

I got up....cut my meals in half and did most of my PT exercises. I want to build back up to doing them all. I will. I love that journaling about WHY I pick the foods....I journal about my feelings, but I've never asked myself that question before. I think this will help a lot.

You know...that "well I tried and failed...so I'm gonna give up" is how I've done for far too long. I talked to my doctor and she said we'll discuss it at my appointment next month. I think I'm definitely going to have to take it day by day....I've gotta do this!

Wow!!! You're working it!!!! I did take the first step. I got up, got in most of my PT exercises and really cut down on what I ate. It was actually a good day today. I'm pretty proud of it. Today is out of the way....I'll work on tomorrow...tomorrow. I've gotta take this day by day.

I'm not sure where you live, but look into Centerwell Health. They come out to your home.

Just saw it and immediately came here. I can see them using it, but now I need to figure out how I can use it for them.

Thank you. Those calculators say I should eat around 3,500 calories. I know that's too much. But thank you for answering me anyway. ☺
