    Somebody who weighs 500 pounds might same the same thing to you. It's all relative.:flowerforyou:

    I like this response very much. Yes, It is all relative. Thanks for clearing that up! :flowerforyou:

    If we "girls who are like 130-140" don't watch our diets and exercise now, then we will end up 75-100 lbs over weight. I don't think this is a fair complaint. You should use this as motivation to want to be 130-140 lbs. Who knows, when you get there, you may end up being one of those girls yourself :) Everyone is different and being uncomfortable with yourself (regardless the amount of pounds you are over weight) is motivation for some people to get healthy- not just loose weight.

    So many of us have a problem with our weight. And it is such a hard row to hoe until you figure out your activity level correctly and eat the right amount of cals. And then it is a daily struggle to stay under that number.

    Like you I am overweight, my thights rub together and I am daily uncomfortable because of it. But I am finally getting my head around the fact that it does not matter what anyone else does and I can steer myself away from the superficial comments of "I`m fat" Or " I hate my thighs!"

    I am also learning to un hate my body. That`s right unhate. I have hated myself my whole life. It never did me any good. **** happens, and your going to make it through.

    Ignore everyone else. Some days its hard, but it`s just one day. You can do it.

    After all, tomorrow is another day.

    I don`t think I`ve ever been this positive in my whole life.

    OP you do realize that there are people even larger than you who see 225 as their ultimate goal weight? i know someone who's my height and over 400 pounds for her my starting weight (224) is her idea of her perfect body

    people should be allowed to feel about how ever they need to feel about THEIR bodies without someone else approving of that.

    I have been overweight three times ( I am 53 years old) I am at the midrange of where I want to be now since I started on 12/31/11.. lost a total 39 lbs so far. …135 but want to hit the bottom of my range before the holiday season - 129.. So I think it is only human to voice things that bother you on this forum so maybe you get them out there… I can tell you that I felt pretty miserable at 174.. But that is just "me"..

    What is very real to me is this last 6 pounds…and I don't care if it takes 2 more weeks or 12 more weeks… I am really in awe of people who can maintain their weight.

    But it's been on my mind. I'm someone who has a good 75-100 lbs to lose. It really kills me when I see you girls who are like 130-140 (sometimes even less than that) thinking you're fat. You're not fat! I'm fat. At 225 lbs and 5 ft 2. I am fat. You are not. Be happy you never got this huge mainly from something way beyond your control. That's depressing. You girls complaining about like 5-10 lbs to lose, it's just sad to me. I would love to even be down to 170-ish. I would never complain again. I'm not blaming my weight on my disease, I had something to do with it as well. But mostly, it's not my fault. I was never 'skinny' in my adult life, but I also wasn't this big until recently either. It's just really sad :brokenheart: I'm done venting.

    I totally hear you! You are a beautiful person :) keep your head up and you will get to a comfortable place :smile:

    I have to admit this rubs me the wrong way. I have a close relative who is shorter than 5 ft and probably 250 lbs. I am 5ft 1 and closer to 125. I get so tired of hearing her complain about how it's not fair that I "can eat whatever I want and not gain weight". I have watched what I've eaten and kept moving instead of just making excuses. Her eating habits are atrocious (eating out big meals several times a week, tons of salad dressing and sour cream, etc...) and just b/c she eats better than she used to and walks several times a week doesn't mean that she's doing what it takes. I've done what it takes and still am not happy with my gut and big butt and am still working on it, no excuses. And I never allowed myself to get that big, no excuses, through 3 pregnancies and being a stay at home mom with no way to go to the gym or time to myself.
    All that to say, stick with it and you'll get there too. But maybe when you reach that 130-140 wt and only have a few lbs left to lose (and those are the hardest to lose!), you'll see it differently.
