This post is dedicated to everyone out there who has tried everything to lose weight, only to fail time and time again. People that haven't faced our struggle may look down on us, saying that we don't deserve apathy because we CHOOSE to be overweight. In reality, we choose to be overweight as much as others choose to suffer from anorexia, or drug addiction. Many people simply can't understand how hard it is for us to resist the temptation of eating when bored or upset. However, I'm just here to tell everyone to keep doing their best, and to never give up. If you keep trying, eventually something's got to give. I've been trying to lose weight for more than half of my life, and I'm only 20. I've failed more times than I can count, and I finally just gave up. Even after joining this website, I got up to 188 pounds. However, living away from my mother, I stopped buying junk food because I knew that I couldn't just eat one piece of cake, I had to eat the entire thing in a day. Finally, last week, I went to the doctor's office for a physical. Lo and behold, I'd lost 16 pounds. I was in a state of perpetual joy, and couldn't believe that when I finally stopped trying to lose weight and started trying to just be healthier, the weight just started falling off. So to anyone who is getting so sick of trying to lose weight, only to become afraid that it will never happen, please keep trying because I know you can do it. Someday, it will happen. Good luck everyone! Even though I haven't reached my goal yet, to see that I'm slowly getting healthier gives me a motivation to succeed that I've never had before. Once again, I'm wishing good luck to everyone on this site!
