I know what you mean. Gaining 5 pounds gets me upset because my clothes become tighter on me. I'm pretty obsessed with weight.

Karen Carpenter was never "fat." In fact, she was always too thin, even in her "nonanorexic" days.

I thrown out many clothes because of it. Actually got made fun of a lot too since I never wore jeans.

I was overweight. It happened slowly over the years. A little bit each year. Finally I reached a point where neither dieting nor exercise combined could make me lose weight. So I realized that unless I could get this under control, I was at the end of my life. I had Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) surgery almost 10 years ago. In this surgery they cut my stomach in two pieces and then reroute the pieces so I can absorb only a minimal amount of food, otherwise if I take too much I will throw up. It worked for me. I lost over 100 pounds and kept if off.

Good for you. I’m happy I never had to go that route but I hope you are managing to not over eat, I heard it is hard especially when it’s something that we did for most of our life.

How old are you and do you live with your parents?

I think you need to prioritize getting a job.

Good for you, though I didn’t have a problem ever with losing though just don’t want to lol, really one of my few joys in life is ice cream and candy

I did not take overt action to lose weight until faced with the prospect of diabetes. That was what motivated me; it sounded very troublesome.

43. I live in their home but not with them. I had a therapist help me get and was hired for a couple of jobs this year but they weren’t for me so why went and got tested and officially was diagnosed as autism level 2.

if you walk a half hour more every day [more than you usually do], rain or shine [umbrella], you will lose weight even if you keep your diet constant.

I also struggled with my weight. I bought a treadmill and basically was on it for 2 hours a day during work days and more on the weekend. I would watch TV while on the treadmill. When I walk to much my back hurts but the treadmill has handles I can hold on to.

Sounds like your obsession might be coming from a need to feel accepted and validated in your own body. Don't be afraid or ashamed to talk to your therapist about it if you want to. It's not a perversion. It just seems like an expression of an insecurity.
