I'm sorry to hear of your troubles. Life sounds pretty bad. But ask yourself this. How do you think anyone can help? What do you want someome to say to you. Anyway, hardly anyone posts here.

The only person who can help yourself is you.

Many fat people have decent lives. They just have to learn to accept themselves, and ignore the stupid jokes. There are even organizatons that can help. I had a friend who joined NAAFA. "Unfortunately" she later lost a lot of weight and kept it off and had to leave. Or, seek therapy. "Cognitive therapy" might help. Or try your own willpower. You just have to decide that in your life, food is no longer available the way it was, and that you know you're going to have cravings you can't meet, and learn to live with it. Including regular exercise in the mix can help. Or join a group like "Overeaters Anonymous." The point is, if you want your life to change, you have to do something -- and if that doesn't work, try something else. You also have to grow a backbone and be determined, yourself, to make it work. Good luck.
