God, the whole being taken seriously thing got to me soo much when I was at my heaviest...I really never felt anyone did, and felt everyone was just laughing at me all the time whenever I did try to be serious...I remember that being a driving force in losing my weight, and to be honest, I really think its true that some people don't take bigger people seriously, its sooo wrong, but I feel like people take me seriously now that I am smaller...its definitely fucked up!

[WishfulShrinking]

Just goes to show how being overweight really screws not only with you psychically but mentally and emotionally. It's a 'fat-paranoia' we have, thinking we aren't good enough, we are being laughed at, etc. I envy those overweight woman (or men) that love themselves and don't give a damn about what others think.

I can relate to what you are saying so much. This was a GREAT VIDEO!!! :)

[WishfulShrinking]

Thanks :)

I DO NOT accept myself this way. I DO NOT love my body. I don't have to love it to lose weight. I just have to be greatful for it, which I am. I am greatful for it and therefore I am attempting to take care of it. I will not be satisfied until I am in a healthy range.

[WishfulShrinking]

Thanks for that, accepting ourselves at a high weight means we are settling. Not being satisfied means that we will work towards bettering ourselves!

Honestly, most of my life I thought the same way...I lost 60lbs got to my ULTIMATE goal weight and yet...I felt lost and without a purpose...It's like, I spent so much time focusing on losing weight and once I finally got there...I didn't know what to do with myself! I think that the pursue of that "ideal weight" was what I really enjoyed...It sounds crazy I know!

I posted a video response.. but its a video I did back on April 1st but it touched on this subject after the first minute that is. lol

[vzballa]

totally agree with you..those people that just don't care...how the heck do they do it!

[rushedartist]

hi, i'm making videos again. i know i know...i sort of gave up, but i'm back and trying to lose the weight once again. i just got sick of never succeeding. i felt like a big failure. i stopped stickam because i felt it was distracting me from losing weight, then i ended up taking an extra long break. not good...but i missed you so much and everybody. maybe i'll come on stickam. i just feel like a big hypocrite.

[kristine0002]
