I'm scared if I don't lose weight no one will love me. I've been doing exercise for 1 hour daily now and still haven't lost anything I don't understand. It's not like I sit around eating cakes. I know my sleep is terrible I couldn't afford melatonin so it was like 3 days of terrible sleep and then my mum gave me a benzo I don't know how to overcome this fear. I don't want to feel shamed for my bigger body but society makes you feel that way and I'm lost and losing hope and it's making me sad. I don't want diabetes I don't want it to be this hard I just want to be healthy and at my old weight before stupid olanzipine. I curse olanzipine!!! Imagined if I stayed on that trash I'd be the size of the door!

I've gained weight from meds too. I cannot seem to lose it either came on really fast 70 lbs in 6 months. fasting I gained 1 lb a day. Eating was more obviously.

I'm starting a new diet called golo after my colonoscopy. It's more affordable has a meal plan, a suppliment. I'm learning about the diet it's an eat clean diet well balanced. Not sure if I'll tackle it but, it might be worth a try people lose hundreds of lbs on this diet. I need to lose over 100 lbs.

@black-roses, I'm sorry you're having a difficult time......Have you talked to your doc about this?

If you feel comfortable sharing, do you have a therapist you could talk to about these fears?

@Aviza, I've heard really good things about golo......My sister lost about 40 lbs on golo.
