what's your height and weight

>>123749
5'4 and ~260 lbs my life is somewhat over and i've honestly accepted that

>>123750
OMG I’m 5’4 and 140 you’re nearly twice my weight. You may need liposuction or something nona

OP, have you been overweight since you were a child, ie your parents overfed you? Or was it a coping mechanism?
Depending on the answer it may explain why you have trouble losing weight. Yeah you are supposed to take responsibility for your weight, but if you are among people who eat nothing but maccy dees all the time it is pretty justifiably hard, for example.

Have you considered weight loss drugs? Talk to your Dr about them.

was this necessary

Hi nona,

I used to weight 271lbs back when I was around 18. I'm now more than a decade older and have managed to keep at least a hundred of those pounds off since.

First of all, you are strong enough, and I firmly believe everyone is. I know how hopeless it can feel when you keep beating yourself up over the choices you keep making, but do not underestimate the power of habit and time.

If you're willing, I'd like to hear some more about your experiences with weight loss in the past. You say you have trouble with over-eating – when does this happen and what do you usually eat when it does?

yeah, my parents kind of always overfed me or bought lots of junk/fast food into the house and didn't really pay attention to how much i ate. i still live with my parents and my mom always says she regrets not instilling healthy habits in me as a kid. i still live with my parents and while my mom tries her best to keep bad food out of the house, my dad still buys a lot of terrible stuff and i kind of can't help but be tempted to eat it.

i have, but at the same time the idea of saying to my doctor "help me i hate my body please give me drugs to stop being fat" feels kinda humiliating, even though it shouldn't lol.

thanks for the encouraging words! i kind of overeat (as in i snack a lot) when i get bored, which is why being on summer break sucks. i've spent a lot of time eating solely because i haven't had anything better to do. i've actually noticed that because i've been so busy over the last couple days, i've eaten a lot less than i normally do.

sometimes when i can't get my hands on sweets i feel genuinely frustrated, which makes me kinda worried that i'm like…. addicted to sugar.

how old are you? I can give you some advice based on that

Also give me an idea of what you eat on an average day, meal to meal.

>>123821
i'm 18. i wake up kind of late (11AM) so sometimes i eat breakfast and sometimes i don't. at my worst i was eating like 2 sausage, egg, and jelly sandwiches on english muffins for breakfast. recently i've just been making scrambled eggs w mozzarella.
for lunch i'll usually have about 6 chicken nuggets with sauce.
my mom makes meal preps for dinner, and this week it was chicken with rice, cheese, and corn.

when i snacked, it was fruit snacks and i probably had like 5 small pouches of them a day.

First off, you're very young, you can easily turn your life around in the next year or so. It really just depends on how badly you want it. That being said I'm swamped at the moment, check back here Saturday and I'll try to give you some advice if you want it.
What exercises are you doing?

>i wake up kind of late (11AM)
That would be early for me at this point I woke up at 11 pm and probably will be around the same again next time
