This is nothing to take a "wait and see" attitude about. I have some thoughts on what you could do to help yourself right now, but not being a medical professional, I hesitate to do so.

I think it's a really great start that you will go back through this thread and try to glean tips that you think will work for you. Over the past week or so, I've seen you post elsewhere on the site about what you've been eating and I understand what you're saying here about suffering because of yourself. It does seem you've been engaging in a kind of self-sabotage, something I think to which many of us here in this thread can relate. It takes many forms, and food is a common one, you are definitely not alone in that. Please continue to reach out to people in this thread, I think you will find a lot of compassion and support.

I do have one suggestion for you. See if you can calculate what you spend each week at 7-11, I know it is not a cheap place to buy food. Then see what a week of Weight Watchers will cost you. I'm reasonably certain you will find not only that you could trim your 7-11 budget and afford WW, but that the value would greatly surpass anything you can find at 7-11. WW often offers discounted rates, etc. And I'm willing to bet if you went to a local chapter, and stated your case, that they would work with you.

Please look into this, WW offers amazing support and once you see that first good loss, I believe very strongly that you will feel so much better and be your own source of inspiration. Please do this today.

Your right, its not something to take lightly and I certainly don't but I have been putting things off wayyyyyyy too long and I'm stopping that today. I'm going to calculate the amount I spend at 7-11 pretty soon and then I'll call Weight Watchers and see what they say about discounted rates. I'm going to then call My doctor and see if I can make an appointment with them soon cuz I am certainly concerned about this ........... I'll post a report to everyone when I get the appointment made and what they've told Me.

Add some probiotic yogurt as a snack. I have found the Chobani brand to have the least amount of calories and sugar. My favorite one is the black cherry and blueberry one. I count how many calories I eat on a daily basis.

I also agree with what Mr. Bent said, you need to see a doctor. When my dad passed, he weighed 365lbs and he suffered from pulmonary adema. This is the scientific name for water around the pericardium sac of the heart.

I'm always here if you want to talk.

Hugs my friend!

Yeah it didn't seem right so as I said above, I'm going to call WW and find out about discounted rates and try to go to a meeting, then I'm gonna call My doctor and see if I can make an appointment ......... will report when I know whats going on!
