Not to be a whiner. But I know I cant tell anybody else these things and I just need somebody who might understand. My sister is getting married Saturday. I am so ashamed to meet her new family weighing more than 300 pounds. Nobody can even see my personality through all this. I cant stand the thought of walking down the iasle so all those people can stare. I dont wanna be the center of attention. I dont want to be the big freakishly huge sister. But I already am. I belong to a lot of groups on here, panic, anxiety, depression, the weight ones. and all those problems are going to meet on saturday. I will, but I really dont even want to go.

" I wish I could say something that will be so profound it will fix this for you. But, when reading your post and your description of how you feel it dawned on me. I saw a picture today of me when I was 15 and camping with the family. I remember being so self conscious, I was mortified and tried to hide behind some cousins when they were taking pictures. We were on the beach, I was in a 2 piece bathing suit and was all of 110lbs. I could have been 300lbs. I felt the same way you describe. So try to take it easy on yourself. Hold your head up and dig deep. doreen "

" i totally get how you feel--and i know this wont make you feel any better---but i just want to remind you that your sister obviously wanted you in her wedding regardless of your weight--i know you say people can't see your personality through it---but your family can and your sister is your family---let them (the new family) see your personality---don't let the them see only your weight---use your personality to make them forget it---i know it sounds good in words and not when you are out there---but hey you know what they say---fake it until you make it "
