I have been overweight my entire life. I am almost 350 lbs now. I have hovered around this weight the past 3 years and seem to be unable to get past it. My heaviest was 370. I am an emotional eater without a support system. I go to these sites and see that everyone who state that they are obese are really in a range that I can only seem to dream about. Where do I fit in? I am being quite brave exposing my weight and looking for support to fit in. I am tired of hearing that less food and more activity is the key because it is not the magic cure-all - if it were, then obesity would not be an epidemic in this country. There has to be more. It is not a health issue because even at my weight, I have normal blood pressure, cholesterol, sugars, etc. I don't fall into a class of obese and ill...of course I am not discounting that it can happen at any moment.

Now that the "fat" stuff is out of the way, I am generally a happy person who loves to meet new people. :-)
