Trust me I know that morbidly obese is not healthy. If you look over the history of this blog – and the posts that go over my previous health and weight history before this blog – you’ll see I have been dieting since the age of 13 (that is about 40 years worth of dieting). My diet is usually about 800 to 900 calories a day – which on a good day means I can maintain my weight but rarely lose anything.

I can gain 9 lbs overnight without even eating anything – mostly likely from the congestive heart failure. Doctors and nutritionists that I have seen so far just tell me to eat less – but 800 to 900 calories a day is about as low as I can go without passing out – since I have to work full time, I have a family and home to take care of.

I will not judge others and I respect those who support the Fat Acceptance way of thought.

For myself – I want to accept myself regardless of size or shape, I will continue to do my best to get healthy, choose healthy food options and keep my calories under 1000 a day and lower when possible – however I am also working on accepting that no matter what I do, I may never lose the weight (has the last 4 decades of dieting have shown), and if that is the case then I feel it is much better for me to accept that and be happy then to continue beating myself up emotionally for being a failure.

I am open to all suggestions and health tips so please feel free to comment. I would love to find a supplement or a diet plan that was healthy and that actually worked. (Note I’ve tried dozens of diets such as Atkins, Weight Watchers, even Medifast – nothing has worked so far).

You may never be skinny. I know I never will. However, there is a certain level of fat that is not completely unhealthy. Maybe that is 20 pounds overweight, or maybe it is at 30 pounds overweight. You need to think realistically about a goal weight that you can live with and then work to achieve that goal.

I have read some of those Fat Acceptance blogs and I think that those folks are pathetic. They don’t even try, and they are like pigs wallowing in their own excrement.
