Hello
I'm oft told I am very pretty , sometimes beautiful even. It's just that my extremely big body needs some work. I talked about , if I had just an average face people would leave me alone about losing weight -they wouldn't care . My mom says I'm "too pretty to be fat " that's the nicest way she says it. She's an alcoholic and now every time she sees me she says I look gross. The other week she was yelling at me, going on and on about how fat I am that I started crying. Only then did she hug me and say she loves me. I know , it's the alcoholism that is making her such a b word...but still.
Also , I flat out told this guy i was fat on the Internet (I knew he was just trying to hook up ) and he said "I'm a small guy. Can't handle that "
He's a jerk, but still that hurt my feelings. I lost 40 pounds and am now 193 at 5'4. I went from a size 22 to a size 18. I am going to start going to this gym with my sister. It's a really supportive one. IAM GOING TO LOOSE WEIGHT. not because I am "too pretty to be fat" or that it would please my mom or to get shallow guys.
I'm joining the gym so a regular size towel can wrap around me fully. I am joining the gym so I can wrap my arms around my knees without struggling(haha) I am joining the gym so I can look the best I can , and prove to myself that I can rid myself of all this extra weight.
Alright. Rant over

How are you doing it in regard to your eating? You said you are going to the gym, so it sounds like you are doing cardio. Are you following a plan of eating? Many of us here are doing low carb.
Keep up the great work and let us know how you are doing. Keep us posted!
Your ex Is a douche. I'm glad you found someone better .
@Kathy thank you ! I was really hurt but I'm pretty much over it.
