Worst of all, I am friends with some of the prettiest, thinnest girls in my grade. Most of them are rich and perfect and the exact opposite of me. I am at least 60 pounds heavier than any of them at any given time and a lot of the time, more. I tried to wear baggy clothes because my shape, if you could call it that, didn't work under any of the cute clothes I want to wear. I was always a chubby kid but after my parents got divorced, I gained 15 or 20 pounds a year. I was never good at sports or anything and I have never been more miserable. My mother is one of the skinniest people I know and she loves to wear anything she can. I tried Weight Watchers but half way through my first month, I visited my dad for 2 weeks and gained 7 lbs and gave up because I had gained more than I thought I would ever lose. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to write all that, especially to an old post, but I never said that and I thought it was better, if I too, was untitled when I did.

We also spell things differently than you all do. Canucks also say “pop”, never soda, soda is the stuff you put in your fridge to keep the odour down.

I am not sure if you have ever considered it, but there is another way that may help ease your food cravings and actually help you lose weight. I began experiencing severe mood swings and depression episodes a few months ago. My life was pretty hectic and had been for a long while, with no end in sight. I began looking into getting on an anti-depressant but I also knew that many had side-effects including weight gain. I already needed to lose weight and didn't want the extra cravings. I found out that Welbutrin SR and XL are both being used now in obesity trials thanks to their tendancy to curb the users appetite. I found several forums where people have been prescribed it and have lost weight. Ugh, sorry this sounds like some public service announcement but since I've been on it, I am now down 30 pounds. I'm a believer in it that's for sure :) Untitled, I don’t comment very much, but I do read diligintely.

I'm 7 and 1/2 months pregnant and you wouldn't know unless I told you. I get bigger and more swollen everyday, but all I get is the disgusted looks people reserve for fat girls that are getting fatter. I'm afraid that my bad eating habits are setting my little girl up for the same food abuse cycle as me. Untitled,

You are right! This is a quote from my <a href="http://www.untitledlife.com/about.php" rel="nofollow">About</a> page: "Although I am anonymous, there are a few things that I am willing to reveal. I am a 30-something creative professional and working mother who lives in the Midwest." I'm gonna go have a soda now. =) Hi there Kevin. You are right!

But, in the last 6 months I have been hel- bent to lose weight and have been doing it. I have lost 30 pounds and have about 40 more to go...and I'm going to do it. I have decided it is more important for me to live a long life for my children and future grandchildren than it is to satisfy a craving for french fries and chicken wings. I am using the South Beach diet and take a yoga class 3 days a week. I have tried and failed so many times before that I can relate to your every word, so I thought I would post a little encouragement. My father, whom is overweight, had a heart attack recently and it scared me enough to re-prioritize. FOOD IS NOT THAT IMPORTANT!!! People are, and living another day with those I love, is... So you fell off the wagon...who cares! Get right back on! Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels!!! Good luck and never give up!
