I am so sick of hearing this. Not because I think it's necessarily wrong but because the people who say it inherently think that my only issue with myself is my weight.

No doubt I dislike my weight but losing weight is not going to fix the 15 other things I hate about myself.

And don't even get me started on making it sound like I haven't tried.

I lost a lot of weight once. 30kgs over a 6 month period. Then the doctor put me on risperidone. I put on 40kgs in 3 months (and started lactating, yay!).

I spent a large chunk of high school either not eating or throwing up. My metabolism is shot. Now they tell me I have PCOS and so I'm left wondering what is the point?

No amount of weight loss is going to make me pretty.
