    Starting to regret posting in MFP. When I told people I had body image issues, they ridiculed me and said I was stupid for resenting/hating the remarks I got and that I didn't have real problems because some people would dig how I looked, hence I had no reason to hate it.

    I don't want people to tell me I look awesome how I am (I don't even have any real pix posted here). I don't want to hear how brave and strong and great I am because if I was that way, I wouldn't be this overweight. I don't want people to give me platitudes about "each journey starts with a single step", even though I acknowledge they mean well and want to encourage me.

    I haven't completely given up on myself, but is there a corner in MFP for jaded/cynical people who don't like or respond to "you can do it!" messages from strangers or about how it's wrong to lose weight before you date because The Right Person Will See Your Inner Beauty and Will Not Care What You Look Like Because Only Shallow People Who Are Not Worth Your Time Do That?

    I feel this at my core. People will never understand that we don't see ourselves as others do. And, no amount of compliments or good will from others will change our opinions.

    @Elcee2020 totally agree. :)
    But we can blame the others, right, for enabling the addiction?

    My favorite celebrity Halsey is pregnant, love her. I know she's been wanting one for a while and I'm sure with the pandemic slowing her life down, now was the time. ✨

    Something weird is going on.
    I feel like a boy crazy teenager.
    I was sitting in my car waiting on the gas pump, there was a man in a truck parked going through papers in his truck.
    I stared at him the whole time, creepy!
    Almost every man I see in traffic I think is good looking, I find myself staring all the time.
    I’m not talking staring at young hardbodies, I’m talking men over 45.
    Geez, 60 is strange..................🤪🥸😜
    Creepy old woman! 😂

    That salt and pepper hair is catnip, it's very weird.

    What if it’s salt and pepper and falling out? 😬

    No matter, bald is sexy as heck too! 😊
