    The fatter me was actually younger, not older.

    That it took her so damn long to realise how damn important it was to lose the weight and be healthy.

    She lacked self respect and confidence. And she was a really cool person who didn't realise it.

    I hated that I was so unhappy with myself and never did anything about it. Why did it take me over 10 years to finally get off my *kitten*?

    That's exactly what I'm struggling with now. Hoping to make it to the other side without giving up this time :smile:

    I love the fatter me. She was on the one who got her act together. and said enough is enough. She was the one who gave up the high calorie food. She was the one who got me on my feet, when it hurt to do so. I love her, she got me where I am today. Forty five pounds lighter, fitter, and near to goal.

    I had good self esteem when I was fat, and good self esteem when I am slimmer. Good self esteem happens in the mind, not the exterior. I do worry about some of the young women here. They don't seem to like themselves much.

    So far, I haven't lost a lot of weight (just over 15 pounds), but now I can actually walk up stairs without getting out of breath and feeling like I'm dying! I absolutely LOVE that. Whenever I would have to walk upstairs it would take me at least a minute or two to calm my breath.

    Mostly no energy but the worst was being ashamed to go out in public. I'm never going back to her even though she was my best friend for a long time.

    What I hated was the shame I felt when I ate. It tries to creep up on me every now and then, but I tell it to f-off.

    You know I'd actually forgotten about that. It's such an awful feeling... :(

    I hated the fact that I was depressed and hated myself. I have actually lost more weight than my ticker shows. At my heaviest, I weighed 190 lbs. That was more than when I was pregnant. I am at 148 now, and plan to keep losing body fat. As I have changed and gotten stronger (and smaller), I have grown to love and respect myself.

    Though I'm still in progress and not qualified to be able to refer to 'the older fatter me', I'd say BLOATING!!! and being ashamed of myself and hanging my head down wherever I go/refusing to be in public!

    I NEVER considered calories or made any time whatsoever for exercise. I ate whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted it, and I always ate in excess. I had no idea that I was slowly destroying my own body.

    My double chin. I HATED it! I would point my head down, and feel my neck hit my chest, and it felt so strange. SO glad that's gone!
