How has your weight affected your self esteem and relationship with members of the opposite sex.
I use to think that my weight was my main reason for not attracting men but I am learning that it is more about how I carry myself and my presentation.
Believe it or not, I have met many men since my divorce he like "thick" girls.
I am going to work on losing weight but I am also going to work on my self esteem, my hair, make up and clothing.
I would like to hear from others on this topic.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I am also very self conscience about my appearance because I think people say "Look at that fat girl" and then I don't want to even go out in public. I am getting better even though I haven't lost any weight yet. I am more confident.
I had a brief period in my 30's where I was happy with my body - but I was dancing and teaching Salsa 4 times a week at the time. I would like to go with my friends to a Salsa club now and my partner is happy to look after our daughter - but I feel I look so awful and cannot fit into any nice clothes - so I wont go for fear that noone will ask me to dance - even though I love dancing. Now I am back to hating my body and especially my stomach after my pregnancy. I avoid my partner seeing my body and wont let him touch my stomach - he finds this annoying I know, but I just hate my shape so much that I want to keep it hidden away -as if it will go away if I ingnore it! Doh! I am sure that some of you feel a similar way.
It is a really viscious circle, I am not sure what the fear is that fuels the negative body image - but I know that it is really hard to think positively when you can't even bear to look in the mirror, and that often leads to eating more rather than less - just the opposite of what you need to do.
