Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

There's nothing wrong with wanting to lose weight so long as you're doing it for you and not to please society, but why not work on your confidence at the same time? People who are overweight and have low self esteem think "oh everything will be better if I lose weight", but the self esteem issues won't all dissipate when you lose weight. A lot of people still feel fat even though they're down to a size that wouldn't be considered fat by most people, because they never developed any confidence.

You can wear cute clothes like that at just about any size. Why not go for it now? Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you're beautiful as you are now. That doesn't mean you can't go ahead and work on losing weight, too, but it'll make you so much happier if you build confidence along with it.

honestly, for me, all of my self esteem problems DID vanish when I finally lost the weight. I equated fat with unhappiness, ugliness, worthlessness, etc, so when it went it took those negative feelings about myself with it - when I was no longer fat I was no longer unhappy, ugly, unworthy, etc. I did NOT feel beautiful when I was fat and to ask someone who is unhappy with their body to embrace it is kind of ridiculous, the "happy and positive thoughts!!" thing is not for everyone. I understand this doesn't happen for everyone but it's not impossible. If you are fat and happy, power to you. It wasn't for me.

It's true that it's not for everyone, but at the same time there is the risk of losing weight and still being unhappy. That's why I'm suggesting that OP at least try to embrace herself for who she is in the mean time, because if she can, things will be easier for her. Weight loss is a long process, after all. I mean, I've had bariatric surgery and it's still going to take me about a year to get to where I want to be.

Also, I can't speak for everyone and I don't intend to, but I know in my case it was really hard to even manage to lose weight when I was so miserable and full of self loathing over my weight. I always thought "what's the point? I won't succeed anyway" because I got so discouraged by a weight gain or a plateau. When I started embracing myself for who I am and got happier, I started losing the weight easier, and that also helped me with getting up the courage to get the surgery.

I know that everyone will have a different experience, but it doesn't hurt to try.
