edited October 6 in Introduce Yourself
Ok so here goes I am 27 and morbidly obese. Therefore I don't think anyone can actually like me because in my eyes I am not attractive. I started talking to a guy on the phone and became friends on Facebook. So he saw pictures of the way I look but they are all from the chest up. He says I am beautiful and gorgeous but I keep telling him whatever. He called me and became upset with me because I am so down on myself. Any advise we haven't talked since then and I don't know what to say to him. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

    Im so sorry to hear that i know sometimes is hard to feel confident when you are not happy with yourself but you should always be positive. you should call him back and apologize, Men look for confidence no matter how big or small you are if you have confidence and your inner beauty shines out thats all that matters I bet you are a great girl with a great heart, You have to show him that. you are in the right place this website seems great for motivation and encouragement to lose weight!! Feel free to add me if you need encouragement and a friend !!

    How about these 2 words: **THANK YOU***

    Kindness is in short supply in this world. Appreciate whatever nice things are said to you. You are worth all of them.
  • Don't bring yourself down so much! Trust me, I have an eating disorder and I HATE myself. But if he likes you, you should try to accept the fact that he doesn't care about your weight. Its making him angry that you can't accept the fact that no matter what weight you're at, you're still beautiful!
  • Although I do agree with the above statements. Why dont you go into the bathroom take a full body picture and send it to him. If he still says your beautiful dont question it. If he doesnt respond move on.
  • I know how that feels, I was once morbidly obese - 300 pounds. The one truth you can count on is this, if you beleive it it is true everyone else will beleive it as well. You must change how you think or you will never change your outside.

    Beleive you are amazing, worthy and beautifull, soon others will too, and guess what amazing, worhty and beautifull people dont eat candy and junk food, and let themselves get fat, they eat nutritious lean quality healthy foods and excersize to stay amazing, worthy and beautifull. Funny how that works!!

    BELIEVE and watch your world change!
  • I totally agree with the last post. You have to believe you are beautiful and it will shine through. Like you, I only have a face shot on my facebook and everyone says I am beautiful when they contact me. I used to get nervous and then I did what the other reply said and would send a body shot which is the one I have now on here. I am at a point where I want someone to love me at this weight and if they can truly love me like this, then that is what I am looking for. You want him to love you for you, not what you look like in the end.

    Some people can be put off by another persons weight but most aren't because they like the person. Life is tough for everyone in one way or another but generally people love interaction with other happy people, friends see them through the tough times, make them smile or laugh, help them see things from another point of view, share in their happiness. Nobody has to be a model to make someone feel special or happy! You can also have a skinny and/or attractive person who is horrible to be around because they are negative, poison, unhappy - you see where I am going with this? Friendship or even love is pretty blind - weight doesn't matter, it really is what is inside! Your weight is clearly a bigger issue for you that it is for him! Maybe you don't feel like you deserve to be happy, maybe you don't have confidence in your own personality and hey maybe you aren't going to be best friends with everyone but do you really want your weight to define you? You're unhappy, you are here, doing something about it and you are changing what you don't like (your weight and presumably your lifestyle) that's good so let's be positive! The weight you can lose with a little work and dedication, in the meantime why not focus on the good stuff, there seems to have been someone else who wanted to!!!!

    Love what you just said!! follow her advise !!
  • You are who you are, not what you are. If someone treats me like crap, I don't care what they look like; my heart and soul know they're ugly. If they're kind and compassionate, then they're a beautiful person to me. Be beautiful. But my advice is to also be healthy. Let this person know that you are working on becoming more healthy and that his support would mean so much to you! If he's beautiful enough, he'll encourage you and take pride in your accomplishments with you.
