Good advice. I wish I weren't so discouraged by slow weight loss. I refuse to have surgery (no offense to those that have), I just know it's not for me. It's too scary and not something I want to do. Anyway, I've lost 25lbs in 5 weeks by staying around 26 carbs per meal, no sugar, no sweet tea :( . It sucks. I'm scared that I've lost all I'm going to lose. I don't mind the dieting so much. At first it was awful. Going from loads of sugar to limits of 10g (in foods-not added) or less per day sucked! I can't exercise. I want to so bad. I used to walk 11 mi/day before I went all cripple as fuck. Now I have RA, MS, Psoriatic arthritis, and osteoporosis. I'm 35...35 sigh. I need to lose weight because if I don't it's going to get worse on my poor bones. I'm ashamed I let myself get this far, but I was so depressed after going from walking so much to walking with forearm crutches and some days not walking more than 10 feet at a time.

I have no one to vent to about this. I don't want to bug my husband with how bad I feel. I already feel like a burden despite him saying otherwise. He works 14-16 hr days most times 7 days a week. It's just so frustrating that the weight won't come off quickly.
