Hi ALL
Ive always had weight problems - they have yoyoed over the place all my life, but my biggest amount of time is spent being obese.
I have just looked at myself properly in the mirror for the first time in a year.
its horrendous - lately ive just been looking in the face mirrors i am huge and so depressed.
I just want to be normal.
I feel either invisible most of the time or watch people look me up and down.
My stomach has got to the stage where I actually did a pregnancy test today becasue it was so huge.
I hate myself.
But its nice to see a forum where i can at least say how i feel

I believe if you really want it, if you really want to make the goal of losing weight, learn to love yourself as you are now because that mindset you have now is a set up for disappointment and discouragement. You'll eventually find yourself eating that pint of ice cream because you failed.
If you want to change you will do it... if you arent ready you wont. Its that simple...though its tough to lose weight find a way, rid yourself of your fave fattening foods for example, soda.... if you drink 2 a day try to doing 1 a day then gradually cut back to 3 a week. You will see this method works! Baby steps..i think that should be our slogan... we cannot have it in our heads that it will go away overnight...
Trust, we ALL have been there and are still going thru it... we are gladly here to support u and will be there every step of the way. Feel free to send messages to me I'm always glad to help! Best of luck to you....
