    I am currently a BBW...will not be staying this way. But for now it is what I am and will love myself while I continue on my healthy lifestyle journey. Thank you OP for reaching out to others that may be at a similar place in their journey. Sometimes it is helpful to have friends who are at the same place as you in this journey or have been here before and can relate to where you are coming from. For those who have never been here or have forgotten where there journey started...oh well, move on.

    Not all fat people hate themselves and consider themselves ugly. I for one think I am absolutely beautiful. I have others who agree (not that I need validation, got over that a long time ago). BUT because I love myself, I am determined to be the best me possible and that includes physical, mental and emotional well being.

    I'm on MFP not because I hate myself, I'm here because I love myself too damn much!

    To all the big girls out there, good luck to you on your lifestyle change. Add me if you'd like!

    If you're happy being large and having more to love then why are you here?

    It's a motivation thing. You can still love yourself and want better.

    True. It was just a question. It seems that some of you have read a "tone" into this that did not exist.

    Perhaps my comment is irrelevant, because I'm not particularly big, but I actually take issue with the term BBW. It has a negative connotation to me, because, in my opinion, it suggests that it can't be assumed that because you're heavier, you're beautiful, it has to be explicitly stated. Perhaps I'm alone on this. I recall once checking out the sign up process for a dating website my friend was joining up, and we were laughing at the 'body type' options. There was athletic, curvy, slim and slender, etc, and then BBW. Why was there is no SBW (Slender Beautiful Woman)? Perhaps because society would see it as redundant. Meaning, societally, slender is beautiful and big is not. I'm not with that thought process. What's wrong with just 'beautiful'? Beautiful woman. Period.

    This!

    Also when we love ourselves as BBW or whatever is PC for the day we will continue to work hard and help motivate others. If I sat around hating my fat self I would balloon even bigger from depression. Stop judging and start luvin! LOL

    I have nothing against skinny people! I'm just saying my body could never ever be like that.
    I think everyone is beautiful in there own way. I wasn't putting down anyone or anyone's body type.

    You'd be surprised. When I was heavier, certain people would say that I was big boned, which made me think I couldn't be slender, ever. I'm actually not big boned, and my tiny waist gives me a curvier waist-hip ratio than I had before. I like being lean. Since you're here, you might as well adopt a positive attitude about your goals. You're beautiful now, and you'll be beautiful at your goal weight too.

    And your goal weight might not be what you think.

    I always thought I was "big boned" or "built that way". Truth is, I was just too insecure to imagine that I could be anything but large.
    And, now, I'll rock the curves that go in instead of out.....and I'm actually curvier now that I'm fit than I ever was before. I have a long way to go, but losing as much weight as I have has really opened my eyes to the possibility of being lean.

    Good for you all for loving yourselves. There's nothing wrong with that - or with confidence. Just don't sell yourself short of your health potential.

    I think I'm a total babe. U___U

    I work out because it's fun! I like running and doing push-ups and stuff. It's cool to push my body to the limit. Eating healthier also makes me feel good. My weight loss is a pleasant side-effect of me wanting to get in shape. You can be happy with your body and still want to get in shape. Geez.
