Gee.....GO FIGURE 
I am torn between desperately wanting to hurry and lose the weight and get back in shape so no one can ever call me names again, and in being semi-ok in the weight I am now. My biggest fear happened - someone called me fat, to my face, in public. I SURVIVED it. It hurt, and it made me madder than hell, but it didn't kill me. But still, I don't think I ever want it to happen again. |
There are worse things that BEING FAT. Being MEAN is one of them

On the other hand, you should (not just YOU, but we ALL should) realize that we only get this ONE life and you don't get to do it over. Lose the weight because you respect and love yourself (b/c you DO DESERVE it) and want to be healthy; not for other people's reaction to you. But you know that. Take it one step at a time. You CAN do it. And if you feel overwhelmed....keep in mind that it's not easy for ANYONE to do anything out of their comfort zone; regardless of how easy they make it look. We're usually on the outside looking in or we see someone every 3-6 months and one month we see them, they're fat....the next time we see them, they've lost a lot of weight..simple, huh? Well, at least to US it looked that way. I know b/c I've been there; you just have to COMMIT and care about YOU enough to stay committed. Like Nike says "Just do it!"...wishing and hoping and talking about it won't work, darn it all (oh, I know that too, b/c I tried it for the LONGEST time
).
