Hi everyone,
Since I can't seem to reach anyone I thought that I would just start writing anyways, here goes.
Hi I am 24 and I weigh 76kgs(Lbs not sure) I am 165cms tall. I have a 3yr old son and a loving caring partner. I live in Australia.:) I have been searching on the internet for about the last 10 hours trying to find people to talk to about weightloss. I was born with chronic asthma and all of the medications I was on and the fact that I couldn't exercise meant that I was a chubby child, a chubby teenager and when I was finally all cleared from all of my medications, I am now a chubby adult. I have been thin, through gruelling workouts and coffee only diets. I have tried every diet and I have just ended up fatter. Now I have come to realise that all I really need is support and I can't seem to find it anywhere. I eat and eat and eat. I make myself sick occassionally on purpose. I starve and I buinge. I need someone to talk to whilst I am going through this journey. I am sick of trweating my body like ****! I don't know if anybody can hate their body as much as I do but still continue to feed it. Just in the last week I have changed from fruit and veg only to high protein low carb to optifast and I always end up binge eating at the end of the day. PLEASE HELP!! I just need someone to talk to I am at my wits end. Please feel free to email me at

You might try starting a journal, it's under the main forum list. If you're feeling really desperate to talk to someone, you might check and see if anyone is using the chat. There is also an eating disorder forum that you might want to check out, I think a lot of people there will have experience with the feelings you're talking about.

I think a lot of people have felt the same way you do and that's why they've ended up here. The first step is admitting you want help, and you've already taken it. The second step is to take action. Focus more on healthy lifestyle and the weight loss will come. For my money, low calorie is the best way to go. None of the others are really sustainable over the long run, with the possible exception of a really well-done low carb diet. When you do low calorie, you just have to make sure that your calories are coming from good things like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and lowfat dairy. To find out how many calories you should be eating a day, you can use a calculator like iVillage's Health Calculator (http://health.ivillage.com/healthcalc) or there's a calculator in the Calorie Counting forum.

I wish you good luck!
