Hello, 22 yr old female here

[pinkpussycat]

Hello,

I've just joined the forum, I've come to a point when I don't want to carry on being obese any more. I did lose 4 and half stone for my wedding back in 2004, but I've put it all and more on again...

I'm only 22 but I weigh 18 and half stone, working my BMI as 40?!

I have a lovely hubby who thinks I'm beautiful but I hate feeling different and self concious. I want to be the me who I was around my wedding. I feel that whereever I go people will just thik 'Look how fat she is'.

I didn't realise it back then, but looking back I really was beautiful.

I don't know if anyone else feels like this, but I feel being so overweight I don't feel free to be myself? Like loud and fun and outgoing. When I was slim I'd go out and really dress up, in the evening I'd go out wearing velvet and diamante jewels, exotic makeup and I would feel great. But I feel being fat I can;t get away with that, I'd only look stupid.

Anyway, I look forward to meeting other people in similar situations for mutual support and helping eachother along the way

Welcome! I understand what your saying...I feel the same way. I feel self conscience and it hinders a lot for me. This is not who I am. At least we're both working on changing that. If you need someone to rant to I'd be more than happy to chat with you. I'm 23 and want to lose 50 pounds. good luck! You'll do fantastic!
