Someone To Talk To



Many people think that obesity in others is funny, and they laugh when they see a comic obese person in a movie or on a TV comedy sketch.  However, those who deal with obesity know it’s not a laughing matter.  Dealing with obesity and losing weight is not as easy as some fitness mavens claim.  And it’s certainly not easy to live with.  Obesity can take over your life.  You can’t eat, especially in public or with friends without thinking that you are being watched.  To cement the image, some well-meaning people may tend to give you a look like “do you really want to eat that?”  A big problem with obesity is that these things can lead to feeling isolated.

This is when TreatmentDiaries.com can help.  It is a social network, focused on the medical problems you want to discuss.  The members are not doctors but other people who suffer from obesity and other conditions.  They won’t be patronizing, they will be just like you.  They come to the problem of obesity from their own perspective and can relive the isolation you may feel.  They can share experiences, and you can share yours with them.  Whether you are learning to cope with obesity or working a treatment for obesity, they will be on your side.  Always remember, Treatment Diaries is completely anonymous, so you are in control of the relationships you form there.  Contact them and see if they are not the haven you have been searching for.
