Good afternoon! Hello everyone! I'm new here and I'm hoping to find some friends who can relate to me. I am 35, I have fribromyalgia and I'm very overweight. I am so sad when I think of myself the way i used to be. I was painless, smaller than I am now, and able to live a normal life.

Hi PinkFlower! Welcome to the group! I can definitely relate. (I too am 35, have fibromyalgia, and am overweight.) I did manage to lose about thirty pounds at one point. The weight loss definitely helped the fibromyalgia pain. But then the weight started creeping back on and now I'm almost as big as I was before. Yuck! Stress, hurting too much or being too tired to exercise, and food cravings (Chocolate!) all make me gain weight. Though I have to say that I do know a couple of skinny people with fibromyalgia and they seem to hurt just as much as we do. So our fibromyalgia wouldn't go away if we were at our perfect weight. But I definitely miss being healthy. Be well and God bless!

Beloved Father God,
Help me befriend those who are lonely,
Help me comfort those who are hurting,
Help me do battle against the darkness,
And help me lead the way to You.
In Jesus' name, amen.

Its so nice to meet you! Please don't take this the wrong way, but I LOVE meeting someone who is having the same problems as me... I have felt so confused, angry and alone for awhile now. My Mom has fibromyalgia and arthritis also, but...I guess I have been struggling to find some peers who can relate to me. I struggle with my self-esteem every day, and having my weight creep up because of my meds really has taken a toll. I have always been overwieght, well...at least since about 12 or 13. I don't know if I will ever be able to lose this weight. I want to, I just don't seem to be able to.
