    You are not alone, and you are NOT hopeless.

    One thing I got from this is that you've gained all this weight in a little over a year. Have you seen a doctor? Sometimes in the case of rapid weight gain, there could be a medical issue that started it and that would make it hard for you to lose. It may be something you want to look into; it might help!

    At any rate, this is the right place for you. Everyone here has been so supportive and encouraging. Stay with it, we'll be reading your success story soon enough!

    Okay, first of all I know how you feel about feeling like the ugliest person ever. I've had the same issue with not feeling like the most attractive chap in the world but I have found that worst thing you can do is to allow yourself to believe that you are anything less than beautiful. Physical beauty will fade over time but if you've got a beautiful soul that will automatically augment the outward apppearance anyway. However, as far as feeling like you do about feeling hopeless, please remember that you didn't gain that weight in a minute, so it's not going to come off in a minute. As much as you hate food right now you need it to lose weight. I'm hardly an expert but I for the first time in ages have had a consistent weight loss and I'm down twelve pounds because I track what I eat (it makes me more mindful of what I put in my mouth) and my exercise. I take it one day at a time and I use the friends here for motivation so I'm not in this alone. The most important thing I do though is I believe that I will make my fitness goal, no matter how long it takes. As far as feeling like people are judging you, ask yourself this: do they really matter? do they really affect my life in any way other than a few stares? No one can make you feel badly unless you allow them to do so. You look up and be proud of the fact that at least by coming onto this site you are at least doing something about it. That alone makes you better than a lot of people that choose to do nothing. You're gonna make it through this because it's already been proven that it can be done! You go ahead and cry if you need to but then wipe your tears and keep on going on this journey. You haven't failed as long as you haven't given up!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!
