My weight is effecting me more than I thought!

Hi, I'm not sure if I am posting this in the write place or not but I just needed to post this to see if anyone else is feeling or has ever felt like I am right now.

I've been overweight for a while now and it hasn't really affected me as much I realised, well I was made to realise. Yesterday, I met with a trainer, to talk about getting some help with my weight loss. We talked about diet and exercise and then moved onto stuff that I didn't think was so relevant and that was emotions attached to my weight, weight loss, food and exercise. It was weird talking to a complete stranger about this stuff. Anyway he helped me realise that my weight has affected me more than I thought.

I'm 23 and don't feel like I am 23 in many ways. I used to love going out and recently I just don't. I'm not happy with how I look but also I don't feel right specially as most of my friends are thin!

Anyway, since yesterday, all I can think about is that I need to lose this weight to get the rest of my life back, but it all just a bit overwhelming!

Thanks for reading!
