Thankyou, thankyou [ Weight Story Thing ]

[Spondaic]

Well, I know I need to loose weight. 10 pounds or so. I love food. I always have. Its like my comfert blanket. Whenever possible I eat. I'm 6'7, and weigh around 180 pounds. I think loosing 30 or more woould be ok for me.

I'm constantly reminded by my brother how fat I am. He never stops making jokes about it. Me mum always shakes her head at me. My brother and mother are EXTREAMLY skinny, my brother is 9 avrage height, and weigh's 70 lbs. Me mum is 5'4ish and wighs 100 lbs. I'm the ulgy duckling.

I'm sorry to sound so consided and such, and I know I could loose some wiegh, but I never thought I was FAT like that say. I thought I was a little pudgy in the tummy department, but thats it. I hate them. Diets don't work for me, and watching what I eat dosn't either.

Depression, a deep depression makes me eat more I suppose, but I don't want to be on medication.

SORRY! This was a waste of a post, I'm just so confused and worked up right now.

I don't think this should be in the womens forum. Diet and Weight issues would be a better forum I would think. Sorry to hear about these issues for you right now.

Your right, I didn't even think about posting it in the other! How stuiped of me! Yeah, the 6 was a typo......... SORRY! I'm 5'7- 5'8 I don't know wich I'm closer to ( And still growin' arg. ) My dad was 6'5, thats why I'm so tall...... :sheep:

Nah, I just think you'd get more varied input if it was in the diet forum. That way the guys can add to the conversation. Most of them have pretty good ideas when it comes to nutrition, excercise, etc.

[CharityAJO]

First off, I'd hardly call that "fat." Most likely your brother just has awful self esteem issues of his own and likes to lash out.

Don't let yourself get down. Food *should* make you feel good. It's nourishment.

[MollyGoat]

I sure love food too!

Are you sure that watching what you eat wouldn't work if you knew how to get the proper nutrition from your food? Maybe you're just not as informed as you need to be? Just restricting calories doesn't work for a lot of people, because they don't feel satisfied.

Do you eat enough fruits and veggies? Try eating fruit and veggies before each meal or snack. This may help curb the urge to overeat on unhealthy or high-calorie foods, and you'd be getting some good nutrition into you. That might also help some with your mood--I know my depression tends to kick in when I'm not getting enough fresh, nutrient-rich food.

Can you talk about what you do eat? A lot of us here know quite about nutrition (though we may disagree sometimes) and could help you.

I'm sorry your family is so insensitive and cruel to you. :( That sounds awful.
