Well i have never had to introduce myself to someone because people assume things by looking at me,they assume the type of person that i am,the type of life i live,the job i must not have and above all my character.Being overweight has made such an impact on my life in a tremendous way and i know im not the only one, i grew up living this sheltered life, i was always living in fear that people were laughing at me ,looking at me and being overweight has pushed me too become this person that i am today.im tired of being told that i have a pretty face,what about the rest of me? why does society make this huge deal about weight and character like only if your 5'10 and a size 0 you are beautiful ,in my family beauty is not what you look like but who you are and what you have accomplished. i know everything i have succeeded at in my life i have done out of love and self respect i have achieved not by my looks but because i am a hardworking person but more than that my character.

So you can see how i am about my weight, im determined, i would love not to have to walk past a mirror and lift my shirt up too see my back fat as well as changing outfits every 20 seconds because that pair of pants gave me a roll,im tired of hearing people say i could be so much more pretty if i would just lose some weight, im ready for a change and although i love myself for who i am on the inside i do not love how i look...i have a wonderful heart but it would be the biggest thing in the world too me if i could have a wonderful body to go along with it, i know this post might have come too some as a surprise and a wow moment but im asking for help from decent,hardworking people who really understand that this isint something that determines who you are but how you feel and act,im asking for a friend to help me and that i can help...Thanks too all who have listened and related too me
 
Inkedbaby, welcome to the forum! I would just like to say that I totally know where your coming from. I also tend to walk past a mirror about 10 times a day and criticize myself about how big my belly has become. I also feel as though when I enter a room, everyone is laughing at me and judging me..its probably just a subconscious thing but sometimes just cant help feeling that way. Anyways I would just like to offer my support and wish you luck on your journey. Congratulations on the 18 pounds lost, that is a huge accomplishment and you should be proud.
 
Thank You, its always nice to hear support and i would also ike to offer my congrats to you and i hope we both make it to our goal weight, there is no doubt in my mind we wont :)
 
It definitely should not be all about looks, but you seem to be judging yourself the same way you feel you're being judged by others. So first part is feeling good about yourself, whatever your size.

But being overweight is not a serious problem just because society views overweight people negatively, or because you dont look your best. HEALTH should be the main concern. It is very unhealthy and hard on your body to carry around a lot of extra fat. Some fat spews off dangerous hormones. It just doesn't seem humans were naturally meant to be so big as we've become so maybe health should be your starting point.

Best of luck in meeting your goals :).
