Shy Hello

I am fat. Simply put. I am unhappy. Again simply put. I love, love and yet I am left alone all day long because well to put it in realistic terms a friend told me, I am perfect except that I am fat and that is not attractive. I need a friend. Someone who will help me be more than the low opinion I have of myself. I know not many will respond to this if anyone at all, but I am desperate. So I am throwing my shoe in the ring because I can spare one and my hat is just too precious to me at the moment. I hope someone makes the effort because I am almost out of wind.

    A real friend should be someone who tries to encourage you and doesn't say things to make you feel bad. They should support you no matter what.
  • Would you um, I mean would you consider being a friend of mine in here? Not sure how to do that but if possible. I mean just think about it.

    Hi, so what do you plan to do in regard to losing the weight and regaining your self confidence?

    Why are you left alone all day? are you housebound for some reason?

    If not, maybe joining a weight loss group like Weight Watchers might help you find real life friends to support you as well as finding friends here online.



  • Way too much to think about and no weight watchers here and personal questions I will not answer in a public forum.

    Throw yourself in the ring, that way you can keep the hat. Some things require dedication. They're usually the big, scary things we like to pretend aren't there despite us carrying their burden daily. Dedication isn't an overwhelming requirement though, just a learned consistency. You need not build a pyre for what was, just read it a bedtime story.

    Just start at the basics and nurture its growth without expectation.

    Your weight is a part of you, but it does not define you unless you let it. All the best on your journey!

    Oh my! Your real life friend doesn't sound like much of a friend. Maybe I'm not getting the context but that hurt my heart to read. Lots of great folks on here and we all can understand the weight loss struggle. Although you sound like you are at the end of your rope you also clearly have a great sense of humor. Hang in there kiddo. Losing weight didn't solve all my problems but it sure as heck gave me more confidence to cope. You can do this.

    Words can hurt from people we think are close to us, we're here for you through thick and thin - its not an easy rode but that's life everyone is fighting a battle within, some just don't show or speak about it. Dont' give up and we're here should you want to talk, let off steam or look for advice! Do it for you and you alone not for any one else! - friend request sent
