Ht. 5'6", Start: 286 lb, Today: 286 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 180 lb - Hey everyone. I don't know what to do anymore. I am not motivated but I want to be. I used to be active, but I was much younger. Im extremly over weight and I was just diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes. This is to much. I have a eating problem and go to food when im sad or bored or stressed. Im so lost and dont know what to do. Any advice?

I think you should go talk to a doctor and see what they can do, if they can't do nothing try to get up and exercise if u cannot do that I don't what to say

Hey Madi,
I totally understand what u r going through. I am not obese but i am over weight. Maybe if when you r sad or you feel like you have to turn to food for comfort try to put your mind in a diff. place like if you have a best friend write them a note or something or go talk to someone maybe not about food maybe about school or something.
I hope this helps you

I also eat when I'm bored..alot. I know how hard it is.My advice is exercise. It has really helped me alot. If you feel like you are bored and going for food, try finding something that turns your attention away from food
