Thank you all for sharing your experiences and feelings. I dearly appreciate it...

ScientiaOmnisEst: I truly understand what it feels like to believe that being overweight is a moral failure. My parents have told me I am okay but, they have only said that because they feel like failures too for having a daughter that is not pretty. My dad has told me many times that he would would never have got involved with a woman that looked like me. He told me about this girl he dated who was overweight and said that she was disgusting. He also told both me and my mom why he got involved with her. He said it was because he is the best she is going to get. I know that is the reason why I would never get into a relationship. I would never want someone to feel that I should be honoured that they settled for me.

omegalamed & Cat_Lover_58: I have tried the walking club thing at varsity but, they people I started with wanted to start running and I could not continue. So I started going to the gym until people at the gym started making comments about me. My last time there a gym instructor told me that I would have to accept that I would never be ideal. So me giving up exercise is not only about being lazy.

waggiedog: I know how you feel. Even when I was skinnier I was still called fat. I still felt ugly then. I know that losing weight is not the answer to my problems and I am so sorry that you have to feel they way you do.

waggiedog: Thank you for the invitation. I know it is hard helping someone when you dealing with your own struggles. Really sweet.

I want to thank all of you again for replying. Please feel free to send me a message whenever you want.
