I'm 25, and I've been over weight for 6 years, and obese for about 2. I have many many health problems which work against me, and are also too easily used as crutches when they are not to blame, when I am just too weak.
I live with my mother aunt and grandparents, all of the women are very fat, and my grandfather is not fat, but has the most horrendous diet. It makes for a very difficult situation because they like they way they live and eat, and aren't willing to change things at all to either help themselves or to help me. My health has degraded terribly in the last few years causing weigh gain and as a result of weight gain. Yet my family still seems to work against me when I try.
It's sad, but sometimes my family repulses me. My grandmother has 5 different kinds of heart problems, my grandfather had a quadrupedal by-pass, my aunt has hypertension.... the list goes on and on. My father had 4 heart attacks in the last 15 years, it's what killed my paternal grandfather. This lifestyle cannot and will not continue with me.
I move out in April. I'm really scared because I am on a limited budget and I live in the most expensive place in Canada. But If I move with my family to the other side of the nation, I will be basically trapped, so I'll just get fatter.
So this is to fix my heath, and get me out of the dark, I am depressed, not because of my weight, that's a whole different ball of wax, but it certainly isn't helping. I fall behind in my social life because none of my friends are fat, and they do things I just can't do right now. And because I've sunk in my self esteem, I'm not going out and making new friends. Basically it boils down to: I am wasting my youth.
I also believe that me being fat has made me dumber. I feel slower in the brain waves, and it's harder to stay focused as I once was able. I feel like I am forgetting things and I am not retaining new information as I should.

My scale is old, so I'm pretty sure it is inaccurate. I'll buy a new one as soon as I can afford it.

This is not a New Years resolution. I don't believe they work. You are not going to change your whole life because of some arbitrary date clicks by. You wake up one morning and decide that is going to be the day you change your life, and that's what happened to me 3 days ago. I am going to be starting a new life soon, and am going to be on a very limited budget for food, it's time to start eating real proportions so I don't eat myself out of house and home, or feel I am starving when I really am not!!!
