“Fat is not always where it’s at!”

I stay home now, because I do not feel like going out much. Some days are better than others. I weigh about 300 pounds, and I have been heavy since I can remember. I have seen pictures when I was not fat – I was about 10-years-old. My senior year I lost weight and weighed about 150 pounds.

I felt good about my weight, but I was still teased. I had a big butt, hips and small bust. Now, I am almost homeless. I am married, but I always carried the family. By this, I mean I did not make a large sum of money, but I just managed it well. My husband works fulltime, but he has been sick and well he does not like paying bills. Since I quit work, I have been through my retirement money, and am behind on my bills. If I went back to work, I know we would be better, but because I am hurting, I sit and cry.

This is what fat is doing to me. What can I do?
