Obesity or what? - Obesity Message Board

Hi Im kinda new to these postings but I have always been a bigger person since I hit puberty. My whole family is what most people would call obese. I am so sick of it. I mean yeah I am bigger but why should that make me different than anyone else. Do I not still have red blood and feelings? Am I not human? I mean it just kinda makes me mad when someone says hi chubby or hey fatty. I am 5'10 and Im about 300 pds, the most I have ever been. I have tried diets and exercise but it is kinda hard to exercise when I have severe asthma and allergies. I have tried numorous things to no avail. I just wish people would understand that it is not easy to be obese. Its not like I just woke up one day and decided hey I want to be fat all my life and let people gawk at me and make fun of me cause I sure as heck didnt. Well does anyone know any good diet pills or an easy way to lose weight that is inexpensive and wont bother my asthma? Thank you for your time.

Hi I am on Adipex-P 37.5 mg and it has worked wonders for me. I am still about 60 pounds more then I would like, but I have lost 43 pounds in about 6 months. My doctor is kind of leary on diet meds, but he gave me this prescription so I guess it is safe. I hope all goes well for you. Take care ***dolphin***

I know exactly how you feel. I am in the same boat per say. I recently went to two different docs. because I have been having very bad female problems for 2 years now and need (according to both docs) a hystorectomy but niether will do it till I loose 50 lbs. I can do that, but because of the pains it is hard, almost impossible, at times to exercise. Neither doc would tell me or help me in anyway to loose the weight so I am on my own now. Hang in there and even though we don't know each other I do care.
