I'm morbidly obese. I have been for a long time, over half my life (I'm 26). It's hard. I don't hide from the facts. I make cut backs on what i eat, and try to work out every day. I have issues that aren't caused by my size, but if i wasn't my size they wouldn't be as bad.

I hit puberty at a very young age and have had big boobs before I was 10, and before i was obese, they cause me so much pain in my day to day. Most of my fat is located on my lower half (and obviously my boobs). The fact that obese people are willing to lie to themselves about how damaging it is, is ridiculous.

Obesity causes really bad depression, that is a self perpetuating problem. You're fat and don't feel good about yourself, so you get depressed, you do things that bring you comfort, like eating, which makes you fatter, your depressed so you lay in bed, which makes you fatter, you don't want people to see how fat you are, so you hide, causing you to not get much needed sunlight and exercise, which keeps you fat and depressed.

It's vicious but you(talking about everyone and their demons, no matter the situation) have to stand up to the hardest person to stand up to, to make sure you're taken care of, and that person is yourself. Be it for loved ones (I have a 2 year old son who I want to watch grow up into a young man), or for yourself, hell if you feel like it, to prove people wrong, that you are capable of that change. At the end of the day, you need to go to bed, being okay with you, and that is very hard, when you don't like who you see in the mirror.
