Token Fat Chick

I used to look around at a social setting being the people watcher that I am and I could pick out people, you know what I mean...the snob, the yuppie, the spoiled brat, the (excuse the language) slut, the ladies man etc....and the token fat chick. I have recently come to admit to my own horror that more often then not when in a group setting I......am the token fat chick. It's so depressing and yet I am still struggling to find my resolve, motivation and drive to get my *kitten* in motion (literally) Bad eating habits aside, yes I do like chips and convenience foods, but I also truly enjoy a healthier diet so changing my eating habits is hard but definately easier then getting back in motion. I used to love to take my dog for a long early morning walk, it's how I have lost weight in the past and so I know it works, but then I got plantar facitis and walking caused me a lot of pain, plus I gained more weight so walking for an hour became a chore instead of something I enjoyed. Plantar facitis seems to be corrected now, so I joined MFP and was raring to go.......then I developed a heel spur in the other foot. Seriously! I have never been a "when life gets you down fight back" kind of person, it was less painful to just ride out the storm and hope for my sanity to remain intact so when I feel like everything is against me I kind of give up, sad but true.
Now though..........I am the token fat chick, and I am disgusted with myself. Why does this have to be so hard?
