Robin -I am sorry you feel this way I feel the same myself and it is awful. I guess I am probably "obese" too - having gained about 75 pounds in the past couple years - all stress related. My usual size is 12 and now my clothes all have X's instead of numbers.

PJ's Mom: I don't know how old you are - but if you are adult, then losing becomes harder and perhaps being a bit heavier than you want is healthy for you? For example - my adult weight is 150 pounds which is higher than the charts but good for me (I am 5'5") - at that point - it is good enough to quit trying to be 125 again. I had to starve to stay at that weight anyway plus being super-active. I got up to 225 at the first of the year then have gotten off 15 pounds but it is hard. Summer means nicer days for walking.

Hugs to you!! I do understand the "weight struggle" -
