I don't know what it is about me, but in my head, I actually don't really believe that being overweight can kill me. I know I need to take it seriously, but I feel like my family lives a long life and that my weight really doesn't effect my ability to live long.
I need to change this way of thinking buy I don't know how.

You ask hard questions!!! I have thought about this post and how I would deal with it. Here is a suggestion, instead of going full force diet start with changing one meal a day to a healthy meal and add slowly. Also start slow with exercise, once you start seeing results you may be more motivated. Let me know what you think of this idea.
Just a Girl in GA: I think the changes scare me. I feel safe at this weight. It is so dysfunctional and doesn't make sense.
I think I need therapy. :-)
Well, you told me before why you feel safe at that weight. Do you remember that?
Honestly, stress is more deadly than your weight so you need to stop stressing about it. That is worse for you.
The weight is unhealthy of course, but not as unhealthy as worrying about it.
Think of Virginia though. I do think her weight had an affect on her health. I don't know of course, but I think it did.
Just like your shopping food is an addiction as well. I don't think you can do this alone though. I think you need a support system and I also think you need something to keep you accountable. The blog is good, but I think that is why Weight Watchers and things like work because you have to be held accountable. It doesn't help though that your son and husband eat terribly too. That temptation is always there.
One thing you can do though is to remove unhealthy food from the house. If it isn't there you can't eat it at 2am. That helps a lot!
Therapy might not hurt either though. This is more than just losing weight and you know that. There is much more to it than that.
Just don't stress about it though. Stress is the biggest killer of all!
