<human>: Hi all,

I'm a 5'0" female who just turned 30.  I weigh ~265 lbs and am in the highest obesity category.  Ever since I was ~10 yrs old, I struggled with my weight.  I really want to lose weight and become healthy but I am starting to feel lost.  I am always tired and in discomfort.  

Over the years, I have read many nutritional and weight loss guides, so I'm at a point of information overload.  Every method seems equally valid to the point I'm having trouble finding that one method that I can believe in and get excited about. 

I've used different techniques to lose weight with varying success in the past.  In high school, I lost roughly 50 lbs on Atkins and had a personal trainer.  I was at a healthy weight but then I went to college out of state and I was socially isolated...  Things spiraled out of control in the eating department.  I have a strong tendency to overeat in order to cope with strong emotions, stress, and boredom.  

I have also tried NS, WW, JC, calorie counting, etc.  Each time I made a commitment to lose weight, I lost about 30 lbs at best.  I then plateaued and gained the weight back (plus extra).  I had tried Atkins again but struggled to stay on course, as it is such a strict diet.

I am coming to this subreddit extremely exhausted, looking to find some support and advice.  

I'd be extremely grateful to hear from anyone who has lost a lot of weight and what you did to accomplish that.  I'm interested to hear from this community regarding what weight loss method is, in your opinion, the most helpful for those who have a large amount of weight to lose over an extended period of time.  

Sorry for all this rambling!  Thank you so much if you've read this far!  Let me know if this post should go elsewhere and I'll move it!  :)

Provide a brief overview of the text.
