I do understand where this veiwer is coming from but.. she's not your mom, your BFF, your counciler, your trainer, your.. you fill in the blank. She isn't responsible for what YOU do. As far as I know she hasn't gone to school to be some weight loss nutrionist whatever you wanna call it. So why put all the pressure on her like she's gotta hold your hand and take care of you like that? I mean come on now.<br /><br />Just some word of advice though from my experiece. I was over weight as a child.. when I was a freshman I was 220 lbs. I was always picked on, never really had friends. I decided to lose weight I got down to 120 lbs. YES i was totally 100% more confident in myself and made "friends". Guys started talking to me a lot. It felt great. <br /><br />Now it's been 4 years since then.. and looking back? Yeah I totally think you should take care of your body and be as healthy and fit as possible. But if someone doesn't like you because of simply your fat WHY WOULD YOU WANT THEM TO BE YOUR FRIEND ANYWAY?!!!<br /><br />Being skinny shouldn't be your one and only goal in life. If you know you need to lose weight, then just do it. It takes a lot of time and engery.. but you can't base your actions or results because of what someone else posted online, or says to you face to face. It's your life, do what YOU have to do to get YOU to where YOU want to be and don't let ANYONE hold you back.<br /><br />Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298903616671717358.post-39194296403094286622010-03-04T13:11:05.405-05:002010-03-04T13:11:05.405-05:00This is muslimahstar81 (now increasingmyiman) from...This is muslimahstar81 (now increasingmyiman) from YT.<br /><br />I can kinda understand what "A viewer" is saying. I gained weight (a lot), and I can say that yes my life would be 100x better than it is now because it would eliminate the very dangerous and destructive self hatred I have for letting myself get fat again.<br /><br />BUT... losing weight will not eliminate my anxiety issues, my inability to cope with stress, my agoraphobia (fear of being in large places like shopping centers, etc).<br /><br />BUT... my weight DOES exacerbate the above issues.<br /><br />Losing weight will not eliminate those issues, but of course being physically healthy always helps you feel capable of overcoming obstacles.<br /><br />It's a mistake to think that losing weight will just make everything in your life come together, though. Because most people who lose massive amounts of weight (I'm not talking about 10, 30, 60lbs here - I'm talking about 100, 200lbs here) tend to see the other issues they had come to the forefront, or they develop new issues.<br /><br />Gastric Bypass patients often develop drug and alcohol issues, cuz at the core of their beings they are ADDICTS. Losing weight does not cure the addiction and dysfunction - so it manifests in another way.<br /><br />Losing weight WILL make your life better. Being physically fit and active WILL make navigating the world easier. You'll have more confidence, of course. Cuz things will be easier. BUT you are still going to have the same character, the same mental issues, and the same dysfunctions you had as a fat person. Because the fat is just a physical manifestation of your issues. When you lose weight, it will be like the curtain is dropping. Your issues and dysfunction will be EVEN MORE exposed because they can't hide behind your weight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298903616671717358.post-77656675675309551692010-03-01T02:12:52.719-05:002010-03-01T02:12:52.719-05:00So wait how did you exactly loose the pounds lol I...So wait how did you exactly loose the pounds lol I'm confused...ZigggaaZiggahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449633405544704079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298903616671717358.post-58422117081104528972010-02-23T00:53:15.027-05:002010-02-23T00:53:15.027-05:00hiii let me see if i understand u ... you arent an...hiii let me see if i understand u ... you arent anorexic or bulimic.. and u lost more of 60 lbs just eating 800-900 cal... how much calories do you eatted... 1200 or 800??? kiss and goob job congratulatioonss plizz answers me in my blogOBESAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00621310986491350309noreply@blogger.com
