I'm overweight. I want to punch myself in the face. Except! The only thing I like about myself currently is my face. So I don't punch myself. But I quit drinking pop/soda in the past two weeks, and I've been regularly busting my ass at the gym and drinking insane amounts of water. I'm hoping this pays off, because I hate avoiding mirrors. It makes me feel ridiculously coward like. I hate feeling like a coward. I understand.

If you eat well, get some moderate exercise regularly, and get enough sleep you will be healthy. I've been overweight pretty much since I started working a desk job. I've been very slowly losing weight over the last few years, just based on changing diet and habits. I weigh nearly 100 pounds over my 'optimum BMI' still. More disturbing to me is how weight affects women's self-image. Men might be vain about how they look, but there's no way a man (a straight man, at least) would ever engage in the sort of self-loathing many women do over their weight. It isn't fair, and while one can't control one's feelings entirely, one should work to break free of the externally imposed toxic perceptions.

I mostly noticed how covet-worthy your hair was. And your eyes. Um, hi. I promise I am not trying to get in your pants. (OR AM I?) I hope you reach a place where you feel happy & positive. As long as that place is nowhere near 95lbs, because HOLY SHIT OMFG NO.

I did WW for over a year to lose 28lbs and I hated the whole thing with a fiery passion the entire time. The program works, no denying it, but it'll never beat out a hot fudge sundae for me, or even a creamy carbonara sauce. I'm back up about 7lbs so I'm half assedly back on program trying to get back down. So my misery is happy for your company!
