Please reply and don't just read!
Hi I am 22 years old, 5foot6 and when I weighed myself the other day I was 19stone2. I realise that I am obese and my health is suffering and I also feel very unnatractive. I hate everything about my appearance and have low self esteem. I have gradually put on weight over the years due to things that have happened to me, and a few months ago I gave up smoking and have put on more weight since then. The thing is is that I currently suffer from depression and panic attacks. This is taking over my life and I am losing my joy for life. I used to love going out clubbing and with friends but now I get scared to go out incase I have a panic attack. The less time I spend with my friends the more isolated I become and I feel like I am losing the very few friends that I have. This is all getting me so miserable and down and when I don't go out I sit in and feel down and depressed and just eat and eat. When I do try and do exercise my breathing and heart rate scares me due to my panic disorder as I worry I cannot breathe and hyperventilate causing me to panic. The thing is I really want to lose weight and would appreciate any help/advice/support you could offer? Thanks

ANYWHO...sorry to hear about the panic attacks hun I hope your seeing a doctor. As far as your weight goes...I'd start by reading the stickies..they have lots of good info to get you started!

Hello and welcome to the WLF!

So glad you joined us. Congratulations on quitting smoking. That is such a tremendous accomplishment!

As Korrie suggested I hope you are seeing a doctor for your panic attacks. My niece suffers from them as well and being under her doctor's care has helped her tremendously.

Hang in there. We are here to help as much as we can. The rest is up to you.

Take care and God bless you.
