A few years ago I was here and trying to lose weight. Dropped a few lbs and then gave up. And now I have gained so much more.

I will be 41 years old inside of 3 months. I can barely walk to the bathroom. I sleep on my sofa because walking from bed to sofa each day is too painful. My Doctor called me "super-morbidly obese". I am supposed to exercise (but not walk more than 20 steps or lift more than 5lbs or reach above my head or bend over... so how?) and diet to lose weight.

So I ate at 1200 calories per day although I am probably doing it wrong because I AM ALWAYS STARVING and I lost 10 lbs in a week. And told my therapist. And she says "it's great that you want to try" but that she is worried about "what you will do when this doesnt work"

So I said I will make it work and she tells me that losing this much weight (156 lbs!) is too big and that I can't do it on my own. And like.... I have no family except my kids who are too little to help. And my son and I both have severe autism and don't socialize and I have no friends. I don't have coworkers. Between protest activity nearby and COVID19 restrictions, nothing is open...

nowhere to go, no one to talk to, and apparently I can't succeed without people.

But I have to lose weight because I have to live and be a mom for several more years at least and at this rate I am going to die.

So... Idk what to do. If anyone here could help tell me what to do I would be so grateful.
