I'm known as Mandi and ever since I became pregnant, weight has been the hardest thing I had to deal with. Every one seemed to have a comment and needed to say it. I used to waitress and at least three times a week, someone wouldn't tip me because I was too fat or ugly. And I'm not pretty, I know that, but the weight definitely pushed out all my bad features. Its been really had losing weight and I need help :(

    Omg, your post breaks my heart I bet dimes to donuts you are NOT ugly, but the weight makes you feel this way. I waited tables through college and high school and can say, when I was heavy 252 lbs, I did not get NEAR the tips I got when I was like 160 lbs. please, don't let others dictate your self esteem. I'm glad youre here an I've sent you a friend request.

    You can lose the weight after a baby, I have four kids, and have lost the weight after every one (working on this last time still). Welcome to MFP and don't be afraid to ask questions!

    Don't be so down on yourself - you're here, you're ready to make a change!

    Ask your fiance if you're too fat or too ugly or not pretty - he will tell you no! You've come to a great place to get support, and to get healthy, but your mind has to be there too. Start with focusing on the positives, and MFP will be a lot easier to stick with!

    And of course, if you need friends, add me if you like :happy:
  • Hi Mandi, welcome. I do know how you feel. At one time in my life I weighed 279 lbs and people would make comments about how I would look " if I were thinner." Real beauty is on the inside! Add me if you like. We are all looking for help and support.

    I am sure that you are not ugly.. but as me and I'm sure alot others when you have alot of extra weight it makes you feel that way. People can really be cruel when they do not know what it is like or have any idea what is going on in your life. There are some that are still the same kind of bully they were when you and in school... some just never grow up.. you just can't let them take who you are away from you and I am positive that you will loose the weight that you are wanting to loose... I could use support and friends so I am sending you a friend request.. keep your head up high...
