Welcome to MSF.

My heart goes out to you.

I, too, am carrying an extra 100 lbs., or at least if I could shed 75 or even 50 lbs, I'd feel much better about myself. Medication is part of the reason for my weight gain, but certainly not all of it. I also live in a rural area and it's very difficult for me.

The weight is impacting my life and I feel so self-conscious about it.

Someone suggested a online group called Overeaters Anonymous. I have yet to check it out. Apparently there are Zoom meetings, so you can connect with other people and not feel so alone.
