    I guess in my situation I am not offended at all by the let yourself go comment. I did let myself go! I think to myself constantly; dang, if I would of just paid attention and dealt with it when I noticed I put on 15 lbs then I wouldn't be in this situation! I was at a healthy weight all my life 155 at 5''7 until I hit my late 20's fell in love, lost my job and yes let myself go! I know this doesn't apply to everyone. And I can see how the post that was made could be perceived as rude. But, I'm sure there are a lot of people like me out there that did in all actuality let themselves go! Yes, life gets in the way, careers, love, kids and family. I just hope I can get back to my once confident and much healthier and happy self!

    well said!


    To the person who asked why we "let ourselves go":


    Agreed, not sure why this was here.

    I used to weigh 255. I had a husband, I was raising two little (now bigger) kids, a great job, lots of friends and family who loved and accepted me. I felt great about all of these aspects of my life. People often assume the overweight are walking balls of self-loathing trapped in a hell of their own making. I had a good life then, I have a good life now. I wear smaller clothes now, and can do some things better. I am awesome no matter how much I weigh. I didn't let myself go as much as I had other priorities.

    The dude who said to another girl on this thread "I will date you if you get to 165" seems to me to exemplify the attitude that people are only worth spending time with if they look a certain way. I like to look good, feel great about myself and am working on my fitness. But I sure as hell do not want to hang out with people who will drop me like a hot potato if I put on 10 pounds. Who does?

    Good job to everyone... you are truly an inspiration!! KEEP IT UP! As for all the tangents off the true reason for this thread... "F" 'em I say... do you and who cares about anyone else and what they think of you? Just the fact that you are HERE means you want to change your life and be the best version of yourself... that's the first step to greatness!
