I'm a 30 year old married woman with fibromyalgia. My whole life I have been obese and I have struggled, most of the time alone, with my body weight, image, and emotional issues about being fat. I come online to try to find friendly support because my friends aren't interested in dieting with me; and my family on all sides have the emotional atmosphere of Antarctica. All buddies are welcome, and will be added back regardless of way of eating.

My way of eating is high fat, as in fat fast. I would appreciate it if anyone who disagrees with this would please refrain from discouraging me by posting in my personal space how unhealthy it is. I've heard it many times and at this point it would only distract me from losing the hundred pounds that need to come off. I feel it is unhealthier for me to continue to struggle with my weight that doesn't want to budge until I have even more serious health problems.

Thanks for reading, maybe I'll see you around. :o)
