I was always the 'fat girl' growing up. all my female cousins were so thin and pretty and I was the fat dorky one. I watched how others treated them and how I was treated the opposite due to my weight. I took a long hard look around me and saw all the people who truely loved me and liked me for me, not what I weighed. I took comfort in that and embraced it as tightly as I could. I had never had a boyfriend dump me because I gaind a few pounds, however I had listened to my cousisn gripe about how thier boyfriends or husbands were bagging onthemover a weight gain. HA! see what you get for being so shallow? In fact I embraced it so hard that being a BBW became who I am today. All the boyfriends I ever had liked me for ME, not because I was thin. They liked me for my personality. That and the fact that when they took me out to dinner I ate WITH them and didn't waste thier money by picking at my food and leaving my plate virtualy untouched because I was embarrassed to eat in front of them like alot of girls do. I couldn't hide my fat ,that was the first thing that you notice about me and I wore it proud and still do actually. It didn't make me any less of a person because I was fat. I did learn though after having lost weight that people treated me vastly different. I was paid more attention to and spoken and treated more kindly in public. It was a REAL and sad eyeopener to say the least. I only lost my weight because my joints hurt and I had backaches all the time and my body just wanst healthy. For no other reason other than that. I prefere to be a BBW because it's who I really am,and it's hard to lose weight and maintain it. but it is the healthiest thing you can do for your own body. If you want to lose weight or look a certain way you should only do it for yourself,and NO ONE else. You are the ONLY one that matters in the end. My mother never praised me for anything until Ilost my weight , then magicaly she started to tell total strangers that I had lost 100 lbs and 'doesnt she look great'? That made me feel so sorry for her for she doesn't really 'get' life or the people in it. For heavens sake, I'm still the same person and if I am to be judged by my weight and not by my heart, I pity the person who judges me for they are trapped by thier own insecurities or demons. I'd rather be overweight and happy and loved by all who really love me than be thin and have to worry all the time if gained weight who wouldn't like or love me anymore. Sorry for the long post ,but man, that really struck hard for me.

Originally Posted By smedley Cd flambe mm mm ;0 In all seriousness though, I relate to the comments, there's only one person I am losing the weight for, and it's me, I want to be fit, healthy and able to do sports I want to, simple as that. Weigh in tomorrow, fingers crossed, but it is that bad old time of the month for a woman to be weighed if you catch my drift lol
Originally Posted By Lady Starlight make sure to take your shoes and socks off and toss that wig smed! LOL you'll do fine. your doing awsome already!!Keep in mind that if you did gain, it's only water retention due to that special time, you'lllose it within a week plus some. ;-D
Originally Posted By smedley Shoes, socks and wig, check I know that's how it is, but I sooooo want to lose that lb to make it 50 this week *sigh* but I know I've been 100% on track so if I haven't lost it is indeed only the special time, and will be fine next week
Originally Posted By iamsally I have been stuck. I just cannot seem to keep my little weight losses off. I have not been binging but it does not take much for me to pack on a few.

But last night I shrank my dinner and Rod and I did some WiiSports. Another start and at least we got off our sad, self-pitying butts. Lady Starlight, I loved your poem. And I love the way chocolate pudding tastes. So, after a very good breakfast and a healthy salad and bean lunch; I am off to do some WiiActive. (Oh, and I found a couple of BRAND NEW sweaters in my storage shed. I think I bought them really cheap a year of two ago. But they are now too small. So I have a goal. Those sweaters after Christmas.) Hi all.

That way I can dance and make rock faces while I blast my mp3 player.
