Oh Gosh, Please don't laugh at me. I know it's disgusting, but I am trying to change it!
Oh my word I can't believe I am posting these, they are just sick.

Also sorry for the lack of bra, I was getting ready for bed.





Tell your eyes 'sorry' for me, I didn't mean to hurt them.


Here are a few pics from 3ish years ago (my grad) when I was happier with my weight tho I still thought I was very fat



Obviously the one in the pink dress

First of all you need a boost of confidence. If you aren't happy with yourself, then make the changes you need to. By posting here, I'm assuming that's what you're doing. So great first step!

You are by no means "fat." So you need to lose 20lbs, TOPS. I can't imagine you needing or wanting to lose more than that. Maybe not even that much.

Keep your head up and don't give up. You shouldn't be so negative as to fish for compliments... take a look at some other before and afters. There's some serious progress in some of those. That should give you some real inspiration.

Good luck!
 
Thanks but I deffinately need to lose about 40 pounds. I am about one point away from being obese on the BMI, though I know I am naturally very muscular so it's not 100% accurate, but still!!
I have looked at other people's pics and it is inspiring. To see some go from overweight to looking amazing in a bikini, that is what I want!!
Trust me, I seriously HATE my body. I am uncomfortable in almost all settings, and have never had a serious boyfriend as I can't let people near me for fear they might touch me and realize how fat I am (if they couldn't already see it)
 
You are very cute ;)

Nobody would ever laugh at you to begin with. We are all here, and on a mission. I am sure you will succeed. And I cannot wait to see your afters. If they are anything like the grad pics I am sure you will be a knockout :D
 
Welcome to the community. :)

First, I think most people have some sort of complex with their physical appearance. We live in a time where beauty is defined for us and this general/shallow form of beauty is pushed upon as as The Way To Look. What's sad is we've got very beautiful, intelligent, great people conforming to this ideal of beauty. You, my friend, are beautiful. Yet here you sit full of self-pity and sadness. Hell, you don't even feel comfortable in any public setting.

That's just wrong.

And all because you feel that your image is not aligned with that of which a bunch of shallow morons consider beautiful; namely media and the ignorant people that let the media dictate their perceptions and ideas.

Do you need to lose some weight?

I'll be up front and truthful....

You could certainly stand to lose some pounds.

Does your beauty rely on this?

Hell no!

So my advice is to stop thinking this is something you must do to be 'normal.' Instead, start thinking this is something you want to do to achieve something that will really make you happy. Change your focus. I find that most people who focus mostly on what they DON'T want end up getting what they don't want. Those who spend time focusing on what they DO want, end up getting it. Perception tends to control reality in most cases.

So, even though it's much easier said than done..... you need to change the mind before you can permanently change the body.

This said, what are your plans for weight loss? How do you plan on going about it?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Hey there! You are a beautiful girl, plus that dress you showed us is AMAZING! It's just a confidence boost you need.. and sure, that can come through exercise, eating right, and getting more fit, but you won't have a truly confident outlook by JUST getting that. I am slightly more overweight than you (considered obese by the BMI scale) and I have a boyfriend who adores me. He doesn't like me because of how I look, but because of how I ACT.. sure looking better would not hurt anything, but not everything boils down to your weight. You have so many great features to focus on, and the weight is just something to work on.

Are you in college or anything like that? I would suggest getting out there and doing some things to get you involved in school or community if you feel like you would like to be in a relationship.. the only way to get to know people is to put yourself where you can be seen. SO STOP HIDING BEHIND INSECURITIES!!!
 
Thanks, My grad dress was gorgeous! The most beautiful dress of any there! I felt GORGEOUS that night and actually had a guy that really liked me (turned out to be an a-hole in the end tho)

I have already started to feel better about myself. I feel I already look a ton better. I don't hate all parts of myself, I have a gorgeous face, haha. Seriously especially today I had on a new cute navy w/ light blue sweater (which made my skin tone look amazing), had my makeup and hair done so nicely. My face was smoken hot and I didn't think my body looked to bad either.

I don't go to school. I own my own business and really have no access to any new people right now. I have hardly gone out with friends even in 2 months as they have not wished to include me in their activities.
 
I could. I go to an all girl gym, I have done some classes so could meet some people there, but still lacking in the male department though maybe some of those girls have good looking guy friends haha.
 
You are very pretty!! And even the first picture did not look bad at all!! You don't have a lot to lose, maybe just some weight lifting and toning and a few little pounds. Your adorable, then and NOW!! don't be so hard on yourself, trust me, you look good!!

Don't give up, keep your smile on that face, and work hard, you WILL be at your goal weight if you want it bad enough, and I think you do.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU!! I can't wait to see you reach your goal!

Hi there,

Just wanted to say well done on starting this journey - I have just started too. And although I (like others) think you look fab, I also couldn't help but notice that gorgeous looking poodle on your bed.

Reminds me of my two pooches who frequently take over my bed!!!

Adorable,

Frankie
