tired of being made fun of need someone to talk to

Welcome to the site. You already made the first step in making a change and always remember that there is more to you then just weight. Use your past as motivation. You will also find plenty of support and motivation on the site as well. Let this be the first day of a new you! Good luck and you can friend me if you like.

I promise that you are not the only one with that problem. People can be cruel, you just have to remember that you are better than them, even if you aren't a size zero!
I hope that myfitnesspal helps you out as it has many others!! Feel free to add me as a friend if you would like good luck

welcome doll!!!! Keep your head held high you got this!!!

spend some time reading the success threads to see how amazing their transformations are. It is totally possible to lose weight and get healthy. It won't be quick, it won't be easy, but it will be worth it. You are an adult now, and will find that in the adult world there is a lot less (but it does still exist) of that kind of pettiness and cruelty. Be honest and exact with your food measurements. Don't cut back your calories too drastically or you will damage your metabolism. Do several of the BMR calculators and average them out to get your BMR and then set that as your calorie allowance for the day. Eat back part or maybe half of your exercise calories. You can do this. I wish you all the luck. If you want a 56 year old grandmother as a friend, then send me a request.

You can change your weight, your body shape, your image, your clothing and your mindset but those that grind you down can never change their negative, nasty , short sighted and shallow attitude

I would rather be a size 16 and a good person than a size zero with a bad attitude - don't let some cruel people drag you down, positivity all the way, set small goals and set about them one day at a time xxx

Hi I'm 19 I've been over weight my whole life I'm ready for a change I'm tired of being made fun of because I'm not a size zero I've done diets before and exercise for some reason I keep gaining weight and I get more depressed I want someone to talk to about this I just want to know I'm not the only one that has this problem I wish people could see that I'm more then my weight

I'm 5-foot tall and have been over 200-pounds since I was 13-years old. I've heard it all from peers and even family. You are MUCH more than your weight. I've tried dieting in the past and it never stuck. This is different.

Welcome to My Fitness Pal I'm glad you are here.

People really can suck sometimes, dont let them get you down. I started 56 days ago had am down 25 lbs doing nothing more than tracking every bite I eat, keeping my total calories at 1200 cal and exercising when I can by taking my kids to the park, walking the dog, some free weights at home. NO one loved to eat or cook more than me, I was a true emotional eater and after my two kids were born could not get below 226 which for a 5'1" frame is so unhealthy. My whole goal for losing is for health, looking better is just a plus. The first week was tough, I had headaches and cravings especially when I was stressed but drank my water and hung in there. As my stomach began to shrink and as I started seeing results food wasnt that important, it was something I needed not something I NEEDED. There was no bigger slug than me and I am well on my way to losing it, you can too, just believe in yourself, thats whats important.

Hey there, I am 19 in June and I have been made fun of since I was 5 about my weight. I know how it feels and I just want to tell you that if you want to add me feel free. It's time for us to be confident, happy and healthy

Remember this: There is no use arguing with stupid people. You are not the *kitten* whisperer.

I always have to remember this! I was always made fun of in high school, not necessarily for being fat (although sometimes for being fat) I was usually made fun of for being poor. It hurts but you can't let pathetic people get to you. People who feel the need to put down others like that are not worth it.

You find the right place....come to the site every day for inspiration, accountability, good tips -- this is your safe place.

Yean, most people blow. Its usually the younger crowd, but adults can be pricks too. Good job wanting to make the change. Maybe you gotta fix your eating up a bit? If you are exercising and eating right the weight should come off. Would definitely like to be part of the support system though so you, or anyone lookin for a friend can add me.

Remember this: There is no use arguing with stupid people. You are not the *kitten* whisperer.

and sadly stupid is also incurable :bigsmile: Good luck to you and never let someone else's ignorance impact your happiness. You will find lots of people on this site that will be happy to help.

Don't let those people get to you. As everyone said you are the better person. You sound so much like my daughter, she is twenty, five foot tall and weights over 250.

My heart goes out to you and so does my friendship. It is not an easy road ahead of you but with determination and support I am sure you can achieve the goals you set.

I took the journey to a better healthier life five years ago, I still slip up once and awhile and need to remind my self to get back on track, but a little slip up here and there is bound to happen, so do not get discouraged.

Good Luck on your journey. I know how it feels to need to bounce things off of someone and not have anyone there to do so. You are more than welcome to add me as a friend.

Lately, I need some motivation to keep myself on track as well.

Size Zero says a LOT of things about a person... all negative. Unless you are under 5'... it's very hard for a normal sized person to be healthy and be a zero.

#1 people are a$$hats. Ignore them. This is about YOU. Do this for YOU and YOUR health and happiness.
#2 it's not a short term thing. it will take time. Be patient with yourself.
#3 surround yourself with positive, supportive people. If they aren't there FOR you then they are AGAINST you. Find better people.
# DO NOT QUIT!

People only try to take you down with rude comments because they see something in you that you can't see (yet)
They see this gorgeous person, who is bright, and happy, and healthy.
They probably feel threatened by you.
They see you are weak now, and try to tear you down before you can reach the top! Don't let them get to you, if you give in to what they are doing they are just getting the reaction they want. Tell them to seriously, "**** OFF!" keep your head high, and move on. Chances are you will probably never see this person again, and if you do have to see them in the future they will feel like idiots when you approach them with your success!
I know you have probably heard people say, "They're just jealous of you." and then you think to your self, "That's such a lie, what could they be jealous of me for?" but there IS multiple things a person could be jealous of. Right now, I'm totally jealous of your determination to change yourself! Determination is a wonderful quality to have!
Honestly I think everyone has been down the path of douche bags, *****es, and heartache!
The only way to see a rainbow is to stick it out through the storm!
Add me if you want and we can get through your storm together, and then we can enjoy that FABULOUS rainbow of success when you get there!:)
Baby steps.
You've already taken your first one.
