" if it wme, i would have to off on those @#$@@$!. that is rude. they think b/c you are overweight you don't deserve anyone. they need a rude awakening. anyway, i'm glad that your husband didn't leave you for those girls. he sounds faithful. anyway, so should love yourself and just don't bother with other people's attitudes. that are not all that..

" I want to be able to buy a wedding dress that makes me look beautiful, not like a marshmellow in a rubber band.

My husband and I were married by a justice of the peace at a local court house. We had nothing of the day other than the marriage liscense. I want pictures of us in wedding attire without the headache of having a whole wedding. Every dress I have tried on makes me look like a marshmellow wrapped with a rubberband. Even with all of my recent weight loss I still look just ugly in a wedding gown. I'll get there though... someday, with any luck while my husband still has some hair left. "

" I want an end to the constant focus on the issue of weight in my life! I'm tired of my weight being in my thoughts every single day! I'm tired of the guilt I feel over eating unhealthy and the bouts of hopelessness
I go through after "falling off the wagon" once again!

I want my life to something more than a struggle with my weight!!! "

" replying to Diaster117.

u have got to be kidding me if u honestly think that people dont lose weight for other people? of course you do it for you but in the end you get the acceptance of society, or you family, your loved ones. you want to make your BF think he has the sexiest girl ever. you want your kids not be embarrassed by you. its all for other people. now should your reason to lose weight only be for other people. No. i think that if you start off doing it for other people...thats where you fail. weight loss is about you and noone else. its just an added bonus if you have some, shall i say, "perks" lol "
