I hate socializing.

I hate going out to eat. I hate going to parties. Even to the store.

My boyfriend loves taking me out to eat but I don't like to. Aside from the looks, I wonder if I'm going to even fit in the booths or if they'll even have pull-out chairs. Will they hold me? Will I be able to sit comfortably in this booth? Will they please give us a booth as far away from people as possible so I can just hide and eat my meal in peace?

I don't go to family parties because I'm afraid they'll have those plastic chairs (you know the ones) an I'm afraid if I sit in them the poor legs will snap. I hate the looks they give me, and I hate how even though they tell me I got bigger they still pressure me into eating more. I just want to hide in the bathroom all night until it's time to go home.

I just want to hide from the world forever, but that's no life. I really hope that with the more weight I lose the more confidence I will gain. I've gained some, but not enough for me to not let those comments get to me.

Just wanted to vent a little, because I'm sure a lot of you know exactly what I mean.

    I do. I can identify so much with these dilemmas. Even after losing the amount of weight I have I still worry if a chair will hold me, or if I'm going to fit through certain spaces.

    The good news is that you will likely gain confidence as you lose weight. It sounds like you have a supportive boyfriend which is a nice plus. You can do it!

    I can guarantee it will get better, 00lovely, as you lose and you will see it quite soon. I have lost only 50 pounds and can feel it already. I can fit in some booths better now. I still get looks but I know that I weigh less so remember that. I went to the beauty shop the other day and I fit in the seat better as well as in the seats at the waiting room of the doctor's office. Keep track of these triumphs. They will add up. If you aren't seeing these people at family events often they will notice your weight loss this holiday season. As I said I guarantee it! You go girl! :)
