Hello. I'm 17 years old and have been on the verge of 300 for about 4 years now. I lost a total of 100 pounds in those 4 years but have a problem keeping it off. I want to start losing weight again... and I want to keep it off this time. In the past month I have felt my health deteriorating. At night I suddenly can feel my heart stop and I have a coughing fit as my body tries to start it up again in that split second. I am tired of being fat. In middle school I was made fun of many times and even had people drop food on the floor and say that it must be some will power to not drop on my knees to eat it. Milk poured onto my head. I want to lose weight. But my family is not supportive and everyone around me keeps saying "You're not fat" and they don't want to help me either even though at night I can practically feel death clenching my heart. Anyways I know a lot of people here want to lose weight and so do I. I think support is the best thing and I would love to have someone to lean on (not literally cause one of us will die if we fall on top of each other haha) and to have someone who needs my support as well. I call myself electriccow because I'm a cow who's weight is shocking. Neat huh? :)
