Hi ~I am new to the forum, It is so nice to know I am not alone. I am the only overweight person in my family. I always feel very judged and it is not a good feeling. I want to lose weight but I seem to start and then stop. I am to the point that I avoid all social events. I feel sorry for my husband- I know he wants me to lose the weight. I feel like he is embarressed of me- he never says that- but that is how I feel. He never calls me fat- but he will point out people that are not as big as me and will make a comment about how "big" they are. I know he is trying to give me a hint- but it just lowers my self-esteem and does not seem to help me lose the weight. I think this forum will be very helpful. I need people that really understand how I feel in this very judgmental society. Thanks for being here.

I know exactly how you feel...
Welcome! We are here to give you all the support you need.. I know exactly how you feel.. When my husband and I first met I was 115 lbs. 10 years and 1 daughter later i'm at 231 lbs. My husband acts like it isn't a problem with him but I know it is because every now and then he makes these little comments that just ruin my self esteem. I used to have tons of friends and now I use my weight as a shield from the outside world.. I talk to my friends on the computer or phone but will not let them see me and how I've let myself go. I am no longer socialize with anyone and I really miss that! I haven't been here long my self but this place is wonderful!! Are you going to be using specific diet? What kind of exercising will you be doing?
