not the only one

I'm new to this forum. Even though it's not good see other people with the same issue, it does make me feel better that I'm not the only one.

I've had low self esteem all my life. I'm 28 yo and it seems to get worse. I've always thought I've been an ugly, fat failure. I think I'm ugly and fat which holds me back in life. I feel like I shouldn't be doing certain things because of it. I don't push myself to be better because I feel like I don't deserve it. Hopefully I can help myself feel better and believe I'm worth some good things.

You are not ugly, I know. Any person who is sensitive, caring and considerate, is not ugly! And seems like you have these qualities. And if some people judge you for your physical appearance, do not be bothered or held back by that. Beauty, youth, health, these are short lived things where as character and personal qualities are long lived.
Obesity is something which is of real concern as it brings other illnesses as well. You can resolve this issue with your mind power, will and certainly with the help of any counselor.
Stop worrying, start living, each new day ahs new possibilities and instead of staying away from people who make you feel bad, with your charatcer and soul, make them realise that they did not look at you right in the first place!
All the best!
