[newnismolvr]

You are all stupid except for the people who can give constructive advice. No i am not a fuckin fanboy, no i havent watched the f&f3 movie. I gave my opinion on drifting and my forum got locked because of it. That just shows how impeccably retarded some of you are. Another fact i own a 2004 VW Jetta 1.8T and if you read that you would see it all there. If you want me to prove it to you then view my myspace, oh wait i know you dont use that. If you did you would judge me then too. So all you fuckers who annoyed the hell outta me shove it all up your ass and act like adults. Im tired of forums that seem identical to the myspace ones. for all of you who helped me thank you. For the ones who fuckin closed the thread this is for you :madfawk:

[OptionZero]

You own a Jetta.

Automatic FAIL.

[P4rD0nM3]

THANK YOU
COME AGAIN

[TurK]

prove that you own a jetta? isnt that a chic car?

[projectRDM]

**Cry, cry, whine, whine**

Sand in the vagina stings, doesn't it? Maybe you should go back to myspace, where kids like you don't know shit about anything and argue about who's dad's car is faster. Actually, try NICO, you'll fit right in there.

Did anyone else get a nasty PM from this fucktard, full of grammar that would make a parapelegic squirrel jealous? Ethuggery at it's finest. Maybe we should have a nationwide meet and greet so tough guy here can kick all our asses. I'm scared.

A car doesnt always define a person. Im just tired off all these assholes judging me based on grammar, the car i own, whatever. Im allowed to have an opinion and the more you piss me off the more i will send you nasty emails. Until i see someone grow up and give me constructive advice instead of biting my head off. I dont deserve to be treated like you guys who responded to this are.

[newnismolvr]

I came here in the hope of getting help, not getting flamed. OH and a Jetta is not necessarily a chick car. I own a 1.8T manual. Turk you want pics, here look at my pics on myspace. Oh right ill get judged on that too, moot point so screw you.

[projectRDM]

Advice:

1) purchase gun
2) purchase ammunition
3) insert ammunition into gun
4) insert gun into mouth
5) fire gun
6) repeat as required

Seriously, I'm giving you shit for your grammar because it makes you look like a fucking idiot. I'm always willing to offer assistance if I can, but I have to be able to read and comprehend the question. I don't have an ebonics dictionary, nor do I know any 'ghetto thugs' I can call to translate some of the shit I read. Plus, if you can't even use proper grammar and spelling, you come off to others as young and ignorant. Think about it.

[P4rD0nM3]

Why do you get pissed so fast?

Welcome to the internet.

Shit when I was new here I got flamed a lot. Wait I still get flamed.

[JDMB0iKT]

thank you come again, you fail, your grammar fail, and you fail.

[newnismolvr]

how about stfu. As i may have bad grammar im doing it out of anger because these people including you are providing me an injustice. I dont need to commit suicide because you think i do. Instead of being a nuisance, give assistance.

[newnismolvr]

Oh did i mention i take lots of shit personal. Hence why i get pissed so fast, i think i deserve respect. Sometimes yes i need guidance so instead of flaming me, set me on the right path.

[projectRDM]

Isn't it past your bedtime?

[newnismolvr]

uh no, seeing as im 20 years old i can stay up as long as i want. If i had bedtime that would mean id be 10. Im not so quit being such a judgemental ass. Grow up and realize that your acting like a child yourself.

[Nizzan4u2nv]

I dont see the point in this thread. Nobody likes an internet crybaby. Its a waste of time to get pissed off because of what someone said on the internet. Nobody really cares to begin with honestly. Nobody is here to baby sit you. If you want respect you gotta earn it. All this thread is going to acheive is even more flaming, so more power to you.

[projectRDM]

uh no, seeing as im 20 years old i can stay up as long as i want. If i had bedtime that would mean id be 10. Im not so quit being such a judgemental ass. Grow up and realize that your acting like a child yourself.

I'm just enjoying the fight, plus I'm bored, nothing going on in the tech section right now. If you take this shit personal then you're in for a rough life. A group of people, thousands of miles away that you'll never meet are throwing jabs at you in fun, and you're getting worked up about it. Why? Do you care that much about your presumed ego? Or is it our opinions that matter? Neither one mean a damn thing to me or most anyone else here, but continuing to keep it going and dredging more shit up only proves you can't let it go. That's funny to some of us.

[newnismolvr]

I am just one who likes to be honest and open. Though that appears to be my problem is i like to flat out tell a person i dont like them. Respect is earned you are right, but being flamed at the very beginning just makes everything 10 times worse. Im tired of forums that fit right with the myspace ones.

[Omarius Maximus]

haha, this is what zilvia is known for. If you cant get used to a bunch of people flamming you, then I suggest you move to another forum. Preferrably one without rep points lol.

[newnismolvr]

Ill stop so called E thugging if people are open with me. I just know that when people try to put me down that i fight back, why because thats how i was taught( need possible spelling correction). So maybe instead of making me get pissed and go on a rant help me. If there is any way i can help back so to speak i will.

[JDMB0iKT]

I never noticed that myspace had forums.

[TipStylez]

MYSPACE EMO!!! haha...

[Omarius Maximus]

The problem with you fighting back is that your not really fighting back. When lets say for example r240na flames you, you take offense and start talking back. Unfortunately for you, hes smart enough to understand that this is the internet and nothing ever said on it should be taken to heart. Im sure he doesnt care what kind of insult you throw at him. Here, I will show you: R240na, you are an utter douche bag, and your mom is ugly as well. Now if he retaliates with some type of comment in order to insult me, do you think I will get angry? Or get stupid? or go on a rant? (I might shoot one back at him, but at that point i will only be playing a game of ping pong)

[JDMB0iKT]

No i dont think you will get angry, or stupid, or go on a rant Omarius Maximus. :D

so are you saying that in a sense the constant flaming i see with even the forum vets, its all just a game?

[blackflag_Rms13]

Why, if you hate the forums so much, do you feel the need to bitch and moan about it to people that obviously don't give a fuck? What are you trying to accomplish? If you e-yell at us, are we going to apologize? Fuck no.

The best advide I can give you is to either get used to it, or go to the many other forums you can. Nobody is forcing you to stay...

Oh and MySpace is fucking GAY!

[newnismolvr]

revolver that woman looks ugly as hell and that comment is just wierd. No need for me to see that lol

[Revolver Ocelot]

^haha. See you like that. That is the Internet. Just one big joke. Cant take it seriously, if you do you might as well just never go to another forum again for the rest of your life.

Jesus,

E-Thugging?

dude, the only jetta I would own is the GLI. It comes with Recaro's. BTW, Did you sticker up the Jetta like the FF1? lol, most of us gave you advise. btw, i have a myspace. go to nico. have fun with questions there. :aw: (Thats waving with both hands!)

This is the PM I got from the NewNismoLvr:

I said i wasnt gonna drift for a reason

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lets just say the money spent in tires for constantly replacing them due to wear from squealing tires. The cost of any decent tires like what i have on my 1.8T are 100$ a piece. figure thats $400 for a set of four plus tax. Thanks for closing my post apparently any respect you have is for all the other assholes. Silvia forums are a rip.

BTW: I AM NOT A MOD YOU IGNORANT FUCK. :bash:

As previously said, don't take it serious man. You don't need any of us here, and unless you want to, you will never meet any of us.

He makes a thread, people respond. He gets butthurt. And then attempts to pwn us since he ownes a jetta?


:lockd:

[dvdevo]

dude just buy a car then talk. No one really cares what parts you're PLANNING on buying. If you dont want people to flame you, just lay low and search search search. That's how you learn. I mean its great you're asking questions but shouldnt you be asking questions on how you're going to achieve that 350hp motor of yours first? Unless you feel that finding the right bumper is much more important and complicated.

[CaoBoY]

lolololololololol more neg rep for j00! end thread. lolololololol



people tried to help your newb ass out....but you dont listen/take advice. so just shut the FUCK UP, and leave this forum. go to drifting.com or something where people are stupid, and they will probably like your stupid ass comments/posts. please click the |x| on the top right of your screen, and never put this website into your toolbar again. thank you. goodbye.

haha, sometimes I do. For my own personal pleasure of course and to accumulate as many negative reps as humanly possible lol

Its ironic actually, I'm leaving the 240 world and going to vws.(just bought a 20thae gti), I've had the car for about a month and my total post count on vwvortex is 2. Needless to say, I haven't been e thuggin, just searching furiously. So just search.

your other option is to stick to the Jetta and vwvortex, cause people are much, and when I say much, I mean MUCH nicer over there.

Story #1

I am 35 years old. I have been married for 12 years and have beautiful daughters. In November of 2001, I injured my back and have not been able to go back to work. All I can do is sit and get bigger.

Now when it seems that surgery on my back is near, the doctor tells me that I am too heavy for the surgical table and that he will have to check around to find one that can handle me. But in the meantime, I needed to get an accurate weight. Well since no house hold or clinic scales go above 350, I had to go to a grain co-op and weigh on the truck scales.

I called a doctor about doing a stomach staple but his office informed me that my medical insurance would not cover the surgery. As I see it, I can't have my back fixed until I lose weight, I can't lose weight because I am unable to exercise, and I can't have bariatric surgery because I don't have the money or the right insurance.

I have been overweight and now morbidly obese all my life, and now it seems that this will affect me for the rest of my life. If you read this just realize that you are not alone in the battle of obesity.


Story #2

I was busy looking up some information for a paper that I am doing for a college class when I came across this site. I come from a family of obese people. Most of them are around 300 pounds or more.

About a year ago I decided that I was sick of being obese myself. I could not stand the pain shooting up the heel of my foot, or the fact that I kept having pain in my chest. I felt doomed to die of a heart attack. At 33, I figured that I would die while still young. I just could not take another minute of being this way. I wanted to change my life, not only for me but for my children.

I started to workout. In August of 2001, I felt the world was at an end for me. Now here it is June and I love life! I have been able to take off 51 pounds and go down 5 pants sizes! I did it because I found that I had to get exercise. I had to watch what I put in my mouth. It was a lot of very, very hard work. 7 days a week I found a way to get some kind of exercise. I walk, lift weights, and use the other kinds of equipment at my local [gym].

I can't tell you the difference that has been made in my life. It is the best thing in the world. Now the only thing that weighs heavy on my heart is that I see my family still living the same way as before. I am sad that my mother and sister fight with their weight day in and day out. If I had not taken up exercise and forced myself to do it everyday then I would still be like them. It took about 4 months before I saw any change in my body, but then the weight started to come off and my clothes started to get bigger.

I pray that everyone who feels that they are at the end of their life and that they can't take the fat one more day, really look in the mirror and know that they can do it! They can make that change. It is not easy, but it is worth ever minute of your time to take that step and find some way to exercise. Anything you can do to get moving, don't give up, you are the only one who can do it, and you are worth it!


Story #3

I am 25 years old and I have lived with obesity my whole life. My mom is morbidly obese and always has been. I have never known her thin.

Today is Wednesday and she is scheduled for a Gastric Bypass surgery on Friday. I am excited for her and myself to get this surgery. I look forward to the day when my mom's little 5' 1" frame will carry a healthy weight instead of the 384 pounds it carries now.

Every day of her life, since I was a child, has been filled with depression and hopelessness. I cannot imagine her pain nor do I ever want to be able to know it. I look forward to Friday, but I also dread it. See, my mom was diagnosed with emphysema last year because she smoked for 30 years (she quit in May 1999 after being hospitalized). Her emphysema is quite advanced which poses serious potential problems during her surgery. She could die during the surgery or she could die afterward from complications from the emphysema.

The problem is if she doesn't have the surgery, she will die within 1 year maximum. Her doctor has told her that her obesity is escalating her lung problems as well as causing many others such as diabetes and sleep apnea. I am scared today. I don't want to lose her. She is only 50 years old and she is about to become a grandma in about four and a half months and I am so scared that she won't make it to see my little girl.

I have been so strong for her and myself, but the possibility looms over me. I don't want her to not get the surgery because I don't want her to spend the next 6 months to a year waiting for the day to come. I want to see her healthy and happy so much that I ache inside. Even for one day of her life.

Life is so lonely when you are obese. People mock obesity and think it isn't a real disease, but they are wrong! I have seen it's effects for so long and I have felt them. I know what it does to a person's health and mental well being. I guess I am learning to take it one day at a time and to make sure every day that my mom knows I love her. I simply cannot imagine my life without her, so I don't. I will continue to keep my focus these next two days and know in my heart that she will make it through.


Story #4

My dad was obese and it cost him his life. He went into the hospital very sick and it took 2 months to be diagnosed with cancer. Why did it take two months to find this out? Well to be blunt about it, there were soooo many tests that they couldn't do on him because he was OBESE!

You would think that all hospitals would be equipped to handle any tests on anyone, big or small! My dad was in three hospitals, two in West Virginia, one in Pittsburgh, PA. The two in West Virginia didn't even have open MRI's. The staff was not equipped to even handle an obese patient. My father was trying to get out of bed and they let him fall because there was not enough help for him.

My family and I are on a mission to remedy this sad fact but really haven't a clue of where to start. All hospitals should be equipped to do tests on all people, or at least have one hospital near that can. Until my Dad died we didn't even know there were specialized hospitals for the obese although they are far from where we live. We should have at least been aware that there were some out there. Maybe someone [knows] where to start so that all hospitals will be equipped to diagnose obese people.


Story #5

Hello. My heart goes out to each and every one of you who are suffering from this chronic disease. Here is my story: According to the BMI I am obese. My BMI is 35. I weigh close to 160 pounds and I am 60 inches in height. This is obese to me!

I've been through every diet imaginable. But, when you inherit genetic infirmities look out! To start out with, an underactive thyroid called hypothyroidism. Yes, I know for a fact that this is what it is called. I've had this ailment since 1974. This is genetically related to my father's side of the family. The next is cholesterol on both sides of the family. I've been on every type of medication to have the cholesterol lowered but it causes muscle dissention in the legs and arms. It's in better terms, fibromyalgia.

My doctor refers to me as obese and puts me on a low fat/low sodium diet. When you ask for a prescription for a weight management program they ask why? Before I was diagnosed with the thyroid and cholesterol disease I was at a weight of 115 to120 pounds. But, as the years went by and with menopause and such surgeries had to be done due to endometriosis.

I have always been careful as to what I was putting in my mouth and would leave food on my plate. But, you know what sticks in my gut is the stereotypical innuendo of how the medical staff treats you as though you sit home and stuff yourself by the minute. Well something definitely needs to be done for us sufferers who are trying to manage weight. We should be allowed through our insurance to have them setup a management program with meals for certain medical issues, etc. Thank you for reading my story.


Story #6

Hello. I live in Rochester, NY. I'm 17 years old and I weigh 440 pounds. I've been overweight since I was 12 years old. I used to go to school, but I had to drop out because people continued to make fun of me.

I suffer from depression, anxiety and agoraphobia. I hate my body so much and I wish I could lose all this weight in a heartbeat, but I can't. Now I sit around in the house all day, and when I do go out I don't even get out of the car. I joined a gym, but I don't know what good that's going to do.

I missed my whole teenage-hood because of my obesity. I wish I could go to a store and buy sexy clothing and bell-bottoms and tank tops and a bikini, but I can't because they don't make clothing my size.

You know what, I feel so guilty for letting myself get so big and I wish I could just live an ordinary teenage life, and have cute boys look at me and not pick on me, because I would be beautiful. And I could go out and enjoy life instead of being afraid all the time.

I know I'm not the only obese person in the world but me being a teenager and watching all these other skinny teenage girls, it makes me feel like I am the only one and I feel like such a freak. I wish I could change, but it's so hard. I really need some support right now. I wish all these pretty skinny, in-shape people could just respect me, but that will never happen because of the way I look.


Story #7

I come from a small community East of San Francisco called San Leandro, California. My weight problems began when I was about 27 years old. I worked for a startup computer firm in the famous Silicon Valley. I worked on the phones and was sedentary 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. That's when a boyfriend suggested I lose a few pounds.

We tried dieting together. He lost rapidly while my weight stayed pretty much the same. I tried exercising with him, still to no avail. Finally, a girlfriend of mine suggested a [commercial weight loss program].

That worked - she and I both met our goal weight - I had lost 30 pounds. But the false promise of the [commercial weight loss program] was that if you maintained your weight for 1 year, you would "reset" your metabolism and keep the weight off --- NOT TRUE.

I maintained the weight loss for a year then started the slow process of regaining all the lost weight plus another 30 pounds. It took me another 5 years of this excess - perpetually blaming myself when I tried the [commercial weight loss program] AGAIN. (Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.) This time I lost 50 pounds. I was in the gym 3 times a week. I was walking. I was slim. I kept that weight off for a year, then the steady incline to where I am now.

I am currently 100 pounds overweight. It's as if I take every weight loss and double it. This is the age-old "yo-yo syndrome." My current approach is very gentle. I am trying to eat more wholesome foods. Because of high blood pressure I try to be careful about salt intake. I shop for more fruits and vegetables.

If it takes a few years, so be it. I am exercising, again, gently, not doing too much all at once. I hope to build up to more strenuous exercise. I swim, walk, and do isometric exercises. The results are good; my blood pressure is down. I have a long journey, though.


Story #8

Hi, I currently live in the Houston area. My story begins at the age of five when my parents divorced. I have been overweight for the past 30 years.

I'm a single parent of 5. The oldest is 18 and the youngest is 6. I have tried everything man has made -- pills, liquid diets, cabbage diets, meat diets, counting calories -- everything!!!! I have a good job with great benefits and insurance. But to my dismay Blue Cross / Blue Shield doesn't pay for everything.

I had my gallbladder out in 1992, and am currently awaiting surgery to fix one of the two herniated discs in my lower back. I don't have all of the usual symptoms to go along with this disease, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc., but I have suffered tremendously nonetheless, including my marriage. I have decided to undergo gastric bypass surgery, and I am currently researching doctors and cost. I believe this is best for me and I look forward to a new life. Wish me luck!


Story #9

Hello, I'm living currently in Mesa, Arizona, although I did not grow up here. I'm 5' 3" and weigh 235 lbs. As bad as that sounds, it's not my heaviest. A few years ago I weighed 256. My health is suffering because of the weight. I'm diabetic, have high blood pressure and starting to have joint problems, all due to the excess weight.

My story might be a little different than some. I didn't start out life heavy. I was a skinny, sickly child. Average sized until somewhere between 35 and 40. I am 54 now. I gained slowly but surely. Maybe ten pounds a year. Nothing obvious. No eating disorders. Just taking in more calories and not exercising enough. I blame it on not having to watch what I ate.

I never learned to eat properly to maintain my weight. My childhood was filled with "eat something, you'll feel better." Now whenever I feel neglected, or get angry, or sad, or....I eat something, to feel better. When I was in high school I was average. Average height, 5' 3", average weight, 110lbs and maybe just a little above average smarts. There was one "fat girl" in a school of around 4,000 students. Maybe a few that could stand to lose 20 pounds.

Look at any junior high or high school today. The majority of kids could stand to lose 20 or 30 pounds. They're also taller and maybe even a little healthier than my generation. No childhood diseases to battle. Kids today play video games about sports, instead of participating in them. Too much prepared and "fast" food.

I do get "help" from my doctor. He fusses at me and then says "lose weight" and come back in a couple months. He also gave me dietary advice. Said to cut out sweets, bread and potatoes. Maybe my story is pretty common for my age group. Thanks for "listening" and thanks for having a web-site that doesn't blame us for our "genetic" dispositions.


Story #10

Hello, I am 31 years old, 5'10' and weigh close to 400 pounds, and have struggled with obesity since I started school. I am from Calvert City, KY. I am currently fighting my insurance company for a referral to a bariatric surgeon. I have already been turned down once but I will not stop.

I am diabetic, have arthritis, polycystic ovarian disease and several other health conditions. I am fighting for the Gastric Bypass surgery. My obesity is definitely hereditary; my mom and dad are not small. The next generation back is not small either. My grandmother on my dad's side was 6 feet tall and 300 pounds and my dad was 6 feet and 250 pounds. My mom is 5'6" and weighs about 170 to180 pounds. I need any ideas that someone might have to help me to convince my insurance that it is necessary, not cosmetic.


Story #11

I am currently 29 years old. I have been overweight my entire life. I think I was six when the doctors first wanted to put me on a diet.

My nickname in middle school and part of high school was Beluga. I say part of high school because I moved and once I started at a new high school and losing a bit of weight, I never was called that again by my peers. I still remember that though so apparently the scars remain.

Throughout my life I yo yo dieted until I topped out at 348 pounds. As my last hope I had RNY gastric bypass surgery. I say last hope because I was quickly approaching being unable to walk.

I was tired all the time, breathless upon the least little exertion. I couldn't stand for long periods of time without my ankles wanting to break. I didn't experience menstruation. I was infertile. I was insulin resistant. I was afraid of dying. Then I had surgery.

Within a year I lost over 90% of my excess weight. I became more energetic. I didn't get winded as quickly. Thirteen months after surgery, I got pregnant and went on to deliver a healthy baby. Somewhere along the line I got noticed.

When I was heavy I would try to blend into my surroundings (which is hard to do when you are normally the largest in the room) but I was lucky in that I had friends and met a man who became a devoted and loving husband. (He still is -- lucky me).

But I got noticed by not just those around me but by a group doing a documentary for MSNBC called The Last Chance? They interviewed me about the surgery, my success and having a baby. They listened to me. And I started realizing that I had something to say.

I was lucky in that my insurance covered my surgery but there are those who are not so lucky. So I spearheaded a drive in the state of Ohio to mandate coverage of morbid obesity treatment so that every insurance company who writes a policy in Ohio would be required to cover treatment of morbid obesity before someone else dies because of it.

I started talking to the press. The local paper published a few stories. The local television station got involved when I told them about a friend of mine who needed surgery or she would die. The AP got involved and ran a story that went national. I started getting phone calls. Not about me but about the surgery and morbid obesity. About people that are dying. And I am trying to do something about it.

I am still waging the battle in Ohio. When hearings are held on Senate Bill 162 I plan to be there. I plan to force the state to take heed. I plan to do something.

I don't plan to try to blend in ever again. As if at 348 pounds I was actually succeeding at blending in. Rather I plan to speak out -- continue speaking out.

I am going to law school in the fall (on full tuition scholarship) and plan to continue leading the fight against discrimination of the obese. I plan to work to make sure that the bill in Ohio passes and continue helping others appeal to their insurance companies.

I plan to make a difference. Okay corny I know this sounds. But it is also honest. I can do it. And so can anyone else if they try. I encourage you to try. If I can lose the weight and keep it off, I can do anything. And I plan to prove it.

Story #12

Compared to the guy who can't get his insurance company to pay for heart surgery, I realize I don't have much to complain about. But today something happened that surprised me.

I recently left my job, and am trying to find a new one. Since I'd like to have health insurance in the meantime, I applied for coverage with Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS). Today I received a letter from Blue Cross that said they would be unable to offer me coverage "until my weight stabilizes."

I am a 30-year-old woman who doesn't smoke and drinks maybe three or four beers in a month. I am 5' 5" and I weigh 230 pounds. I know I'm overweight, but it surprised me that I'm so heavy I can't get insurance.

And it's not like I'm asking for the best plan in the world. Basically, I'd be paying BCBS $105 a month. In return, once I've spent $1,000 on medical care, then they'd pay 90% of any other medical bills I might have. No mental health coverage, not much in the way of prescription coverage. Really, I just wanted to have something in place in case I get cancer or something really catastrophic.

Anyway, that's my story. I live in Fernandina Beach, Florida.

Thanks for listening.



Story #13

Hello. I'm a 50 year old mother, grandmother and wife. All of my life I have been overweight. Of course, this is usually the same in all obesity people.

In my life, I was fortunate to have my height. I'm 6'1". No matter how much weight I ever lose, I'm always going to be big. That is what my mother told me.

Just like most people, I have spent a small fortune on weight loss. I think I was different from other over weight people because I really think, for some reason, people were always afraid to make fun of me. I'm not a violent person, but I think that I intimidated people anyway.

My real problems started when I looked for employment. Any time I would go to look for work in an office setting, they would say the job has been filled. Unless the person doing the hiring was also overweight.

My story isn't about pain from others, it's about pain itself. I was diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) causing paralysis for about 3 months. Until I was treated with steroids. Today, 26 years later, I suffer from the effects of that drug. It slows down your metabolism and causes your bones to become easier to break down.

I suffer from arthritis, loss of short-term memory. I have become so slow, every step I take is painful. I have continued to work to keep medical insurance, and to just keep going.

I'm working on getting the bypass surgery, but my insurance won't pay for it. Along with the surgery, I have another ventral hernia, which is now number 7. It will help me get part of the surgery cost down, since I have to pay for it out of pocket.

I'm looking forward to having the surgery. Seems strange to say you're looking forward to having surgery, but I've put a lot of faith in what it can do for my health.

We should all pray for each other and hope that America gets wise and see what obesity is doing to us. I worry for the young people to come. We need to educate more doctors and insurance companies about this deadly disease. Help teachers and mentors learn to understand how it feels to be overweight. Maybe we can stop the cycle for the next generation. Thank You.



Story #14

Two weeks ago on April 15, 2002 I weighed in at 222 pounds. This is the most I have ever weighed in my life. I have been fighting my weight since I was 15 years old. I weighed 180 pounds then.

The least I ever weighed was 145. I would love to be at that weight again.

I have arthritis in my knees, lower back pain, urinary incontinence and I'm tired all the time. I made my mind up that I am going to get the weight off for good this time.

I refuse to pay anyone my hard-earned money to help me do this. I went on [the Internet] and got a diet plan mapped out for me and so far I have lost six pounds. I have also started going to my local pool and taken up water-walking. I don't swim, I water walk. I walk through the water just like I would walk on a sidewalk.

I can't believe I have let myself get to this point but I don't plan to be here long. I'll let you know how I'm doing. Thanks for providing a format to share.

Story #1

I am 35 years old. I have been married for 12 years and have beautiful daughters. In November of 2001, I injured my back and have not been able to go back to work. All I can do is sit and get bigger.

Now when it seems that surgery on my back is near, the doctor tells me that I am too heavy for the surgical table and that he will have to check around to find one that can handle me. But in the meantime, I needed to get an accurate weight. Well since no house hold or clinic scales go above 350, I had to go to a grain co-op and weigh on the truck scales.

I called a doctor about doing a stomach staple but his office informed me that my medical insurance would not cover the surgery. As I see it, I can't have my back fixed until I lose weight, I can't lose weight because I am unable to exercise, and I can't have bariatric surgery because I don't have the money or the right insurance.

I have been overweight and now morbidly obese all my life, and now it seems that this will affect me for the rest of my life. If you read this just realize that you are not alone in the battle of obesity.


Story #2

I was busy looking up some information for a paper that I am doing for a college class when I came across this site. I come from a family of obese people. Most of them are around 300 pounds or more.

About a year ago I decided that I was sick of being obese myself. I could not stand the pain shooting up the heel of my foot, or the fact that I kept having pain in my chest. I felt doomed to die of a heart attack. At 33, I figured that I would die while still young. I just could not take another minute of being this way. I wanted to change my life, not only for me but for my children.

I started to workout. In August of 2001, I felt the world was at an end for me. Now here it is June and I love life! I have been able to take off 51 pounds and go down 5 pants sizes! I did it because I found that I had to get exercise. I had to watch what I put in my mouth. It was a lot of very, very hard work. 7 days a week I found a way to get some kind of exercise. I walk, lift weights, and use the other kinds of equipment at my local [gym].

I can't tell you the difference that has been made in my life. It is the best thing in the world. Now the only thing that weighs heavy on my heart is that I see my family still living the same way as before. I am sad that my mother and sister fight with their weight day in and day out. If I had not taken up exercise and forced myself to do it everyday then I would still be like them. It took about 4 months before I saw any change in my body, but then the weight started to come off and my clothes started to get bigger.

I pray that everyone who feels that they are at the end of their life and that they can't take the fat one more day, really look in the mirror and know that they can do it! They can make that change. It is not easy, but it is worth ever minute of your time to take that step and find some way to exercise. Anything you can do to get moving, don't give up, you are the only one who can do it, and you are worth it!


Story #3

I am 25 years old and I have lived with obesity my whole life. My mom is morbidly obese and always has been. I have never known her thin.

Today is Wednesday and she is scheduled for a Gastric Bypass surgery on Friday. I am excited for her and myself to get this surgery. I look forward to the day when my mom's little 5' 1" frame will carry a healthy weight instead of the 384 pounds it carries now.

Every day of her life, since I was a child, has been filled with depression and hopelessness. I cannot imagine her pain nor do I ever want to be able to know it. I look forward to Friday, but I also dread it. See, my mom was diagnosed with emphysema last year because she smoked for 30 years (she quit in May 1999 after being hospitalized). Her emphysema is quite advanced which poses serious potential problems during her surgery. She could die during the surgery or she could die afterward from complications from the emphysema.

The problem is if she doesn't have the surgery, she will die within 1 year maximum. Her doctor has told her that her obesity is escalating her lung problems as well as causing many others such as diabetes and sleep apnea. I am scared today. I don't want to lose her. She is only 50 years old and she is about to become a grandma in about four and a half months and I am so scared that she won't make it to see my little girl.

I have been so strong for her and myself, but the possibility looms over me. I don't want her to not get the surgery because I don't want her to spend the next 6 months to a year waiting for the day to come. I want to see her healthy and happy so much that I ache inside. Even for one day of her life.

Life is so lonely when you are obese. People mock obesity and think it isn't a real disease, but they are wrong! I have seen it's effects for so long and I have felt them. I know what it does to a person's health and mental well being. I guess I am learning to take it one day at a time and to make sure every day that my mom knows I love her. I simply cannot imagine my life without her, so I don't. I will continue to keep my focus these next two days and know in my heart that she will make it through.


Story #4

My dad was obese and it cost him his life. He went into the hospital very sick and it took 2 months to be diagnosed with cancer. Why did it take two months to find this out? Well to be blunt about it, there were soooo many tests that they couldn't do on him because he was OBESE!

You would think that all hospitals would be equipped to handle any tests on anyone, big or small! My dad was in three hospitals, two in West Virginia, one in Pittsburgh, PA. The two in West Virginia didn't even have open MRI's. The staff was not equipped to even handle an obese patient. My father was trying to get out of bed and they let him fall because there was not enough help for him.

My family and I are on a mission to remedy this sad fact but really haven't a clue of where to start. All hospitals should be equipped to do tests on all people, or at least have one hospital near that can. Until my Dad died we didn't even know there were specialized hospitals for the obese although they are far from where we live. We should have at least been aware that there were some out there. Maybe someone [knows] where to start so that all hospitals will be equipped to diagnose obese people.


Story #5

Hello. My heart goes out to each and every one of you who are suffering from this chronic disease. Here is my story: According to the BMI I am obese. My BMI is 35. I weigh close to 160 pounds and I am 60 inches in height. This is obese to me!

I've been through every diet imaginable. But, when you inherit genetic infirmities look out! To start out with, an underactive thyroid called hypothyroidism. Yes, I know for a fact that this is what it is called. I've had this ailment since 1974. This is genetically related to my father's side of the family. The next is cholesterol on both sides of the family. I've been on every type of medication to have the cholesterol lowered but it causes muscle dissention in the legs and arms. It's in better terms, fibromyalgia.

My doctor refers to me as obese and puts me on a low fat/low sodium diet. When you ask for a prescription for a weight management program they ask why? Before I was diagnosed with the thyroid and cholesterol disease I was at a weight of 115 to120 pounds. But, as the years went by and with menopause and such surgeries had to be done due to endometriosis.

I have always been careful as to what I was putting in my mouth and would leave food on my plate. But, you know what sticks in my gut is the stereotypical innuendo of how the medical staff treats you as though you sit home and stuff yourself by the minute. Well something definitely needs to be done for us sufferers who are trying to manage weight. We should be allowed through our insurance to have them setup a management program with meals for certain medical issues, etc. Thank you for reading my story.


Story #6

Hello. I live in Rochester, NY. I'm 17 years old and I weigh 440 pounds. I've been overweight since I was 12 years old. I used to go to school, but I had to drop out because people continued to make fun of me.

I suffer from depression, anxiety and agoraphobia. I hate my body so much and I wish I could lose all this weight in a heartbeat, but I can't. Now I sit around in the house all day, and when I do go out I don't even get out of the car. I joined a gym, but I don't know what good that's going to do.

I missed my whole teenage-hood because of my obesity. I wish I could go to a store and buy sexy clothing and bell-bottoms and tank tops and a bikini, but I can't because they don't make clothing my size.

You know what, I feel so guilty for letting myself get so big and I wish I could just live an ordinary teenage life, and have cute boys look at me and not pick on me, because I would be beautiful. And I could go out and enjoy life instead of being afraid all the time.

I know I'm not the only obese person in the world but me being a teenager and watching all these other skinny teenage girls, it makes me feel like I am the only one and I feel like such a freak. I wish I could change, but it's so hard. I really need some support right now. I wish all these pretty skinny, in-shape people could just respect me, but that will never happen because of the way I look.


Story #7

I come from a small community East of San Francisco called San Leandro, California. My weight problems began when I was about 27 years old. I worked for a startup computer firm in the famous Silicon Valley. I worked on the phones and was sedentary 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. That's when a boyfriend suggested I lose a few pounds.

We tried dieting together. He lost rapidly while my weight stayed pretty much the same. I tried exercising with him, still to no avail. Finally, a girlfriend of mine suggested a [commercial weight loss program].

That worked - she and I both met our goal weight - I had lost 30 pounds. But the false promise of the [commercial weight loss program] was that if you maintained your weight for 1 year, you would "reset" your metabolism and keep the weight off --- NOT TRUE.

I maintained the weight loss for a year then started the slow process of regaining all the lost weight plus another 30 pounds. It took me another 5 years of this excess - perpetually blaming myself when I tried the [commercial weight loss program] AGAIN. (Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.) This time I lost 50 pounds. I was in the gym 3 times a week. I was walking. I was slim. I kept that weight off for a year, then the steady incline to where I am now.

I am currently 100 pounds overweight. It's as if I take every weight loss and double it. This is the age-old "yo-yo syndrome." My current approach is very gentle. I am trying to eat more wholesome foods. Because of high blood pressure I try to be careful about salt intake. I shop for more fruits and vegetables.

If it takes a few years, so be it. I am exercising, again, gently, not doing too much all at once. I hope to build up to more strenuous exercise. I swim, walk, and do isometric exercises. The results are good; my blood pressure is down. I have a long journey, though.


Story #8

Hi, I currently live in the Houston area. My story begins at the age of five when my parents divorced. I have been overweight for the past 30 years.

I'm a single parent of 5. The oldest is 18 and the youngest is 6. I have tried everything man has made -- pills, liquid diets, cabbage diets, meat diets, counting calories -- everything!!!! I have a good job with great benefits and insurance. But to my dismay Blue Cross / Blue Shield doesn't pay for everything.

I had my gallbladder out in 1992, and am currently awaiting surgery to fix one of the two herniated discs in my lower back. I don't have all of the usual symptoms to go along with this disease, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc., but I have suffered tremendously nonetheless, including my marriage. I have decided to undergo gastric bypass surgery, and I am currently researching doctors and cost. I believe this is best for me and I look forward to a new life. Wish me luck!


Story #9

Hello, I'm living currently in Mesa, Arizona, although I did not grow up here. I'm 5' 3" and weigh 235 lbs. As bad as that sounds, it's not my heaviest. A few years ago I weighed 256. My health is suffering because of the weight. I'm diabetic, have high blood pressure and starting to have joint problems, all due to the excess weight.

My story might be a little different than some. I didn't start out life heavy. I was a skinny, sickly child. Average sized until somewhere between 35 and 40. I am 54 now. I gained slowly but surely. Maybe ten pounds a year. Nothing obvious. No eating disorders. Just taking in more calories and not exercising enough. I blame it on not having to watch what I ate.

I never learned to eat properly to maintain my weight. My childhood was filled with "eat something, you'll feel better." Now whenever I feel neglected, or get angry, or sad, or....I eat something, to feel better. When I was in high school I was average. Average height, 5' 3", average weight, 110lbs and maybe just a little above average smarts. There was one "fat girl" in a school of around 4,000 students. Maybe a few that could stand to lose 20 pounds.

Look at any junior high or high school today. The majority of kids could stand to lose 20 or 30 pounds. They're also taller and maybe even a little healthier than my generation. No childhood diseases to battle. Kids today play video games about sports, instead of participating in them. Too much prepared and "fast" food.

I do get "help" from my doctor. He fusses at me and then says "lose weight" and come back in a couple months. He also gave me dietary advice. Said to cut out sweets, bread and potatoes. Maybe my story is pretty common for my age group. Thanks for "listening" and thanks for having a web-site that doesn't blame us for our "genetic" dispositions.


Story #10

Hello, I am 31 years old, 5'10' and weigh close to 400 pounds, and have struggled with obesity since I started school. I am from Calvert City, KY. I am currently fighting my insurance company for a referral to a bariatric surgeon. I have already been turned down once but I will not stop.

I am diabetic, have arthritis, polycystic ovarian disease and several other health conditions. I am fighting for the Gastric Bypass surgery. My obesity is definitely hereditary; my mom and dad are not small. The next generation back is not small either. My grandmother on my dad's side was 6 feet tall and 300 pounds and my dad was 6 feet and 250 pounds. My mom is 5'6" and weighs about 170 to180 pounds. I need any ideas that someone might have to help me to convince my insurance that it is necessary, not cosmetic.


Story #11

I am currently 29 years old. I have been overweight my entire life. I think I was six when the doctors first wanted to put me on a diet.

My nickname in middle school and part of high school was Beluga. I say part of high school because I moved and once I started at a new high school and losing a bit of weight, I never was called that again by my peers. I still remember that though so apparently the scars remain.

Throughout my life I yo yo dieted until I topped out at 348 pounds. As my last hope I had RNY gastric bypass surgery. I say last hope because I was quickly approaching being unable to walk.

I was tired all the time, breathless upon the least little exertion. I couldn't stand for long periods of time without my ankles wanting to break. I didn't experience menstruation. I was infertile. I was insulin resistant. I was afraid of dying. Then I had surgery.

Within a year I lost over 90% of my excess weight. I became more energetic. I didn't get winded as quickly. Thirteen months after surgery, I got pregnant and went on to deliver a healthy baby. Somewhere along the line I got noticed.

When I was heavy I would try to blend into my surroundings (which is hard to do when you are normally the largest in the room) but I was lucky in that I had friends and met a man who became a devoted and loving husband. (He still is -- lucky me).

But I got noticed by not just those around me but by a group doing a documentary for MSNBC called The Last Chance? They interviewed me about the surgery, my success and having a baby. They listened to me. And I started realizing that I had something to say.

I was lucky in that my insurance covered my surgery but there are those who are not so lucky. So I spearheaded a drive in the state of Ohio to mandate coverage of morbid obesity treatment so that every insurance company who writes a policy in Ohio would be required to cover treatment of morbid obesity before someone else dies because of it.

I started talking to the press. The local paper published a few stories. The local television station got involved when I told them about a friend of mine who needed surgery or she would die. The AP got involved and ran a story that went national. I started getting phone calls. Not about me but about the surgery and morbid obesity. About people that are dying. And I am trying to do something about it.

I am still waging the battle in Ohio. When hearings are held on Senate Bill 162 I plan to be there. I plan to force the state to take heed. I plan to do something.

I don't plan to try to blend in ever again. As if at 348 pounds I was actually succeeding at blending in. Rather I plan to speak out -- continue speaking out.

I am going to law school in the fall (on full tuition scholarship) and plan to continue leading the fight against discrimination of the obese. I plan to work to make sure that the bill in Ohio passes and continue helping others appeal to their insurance companies.

I plan to make a difference. Okay corny I know this sounds. But it is also honest. I can do it. And so can anyone else if they try. I encourage you to try. If I can lose the weight and keep it off, I can do anything. And I plan to prove it.
