*hugs!* Oh kath I'm so sorry! It is a crummy way to feel, being overweight. Fat sucks, for sure. I'm sorry it's gotten to this point with you and made you feel so bad about yourself.

I know it's hard to get your mind around but being overweight does NOT automatically qualify you for loser of the month club or anything like that! Yeah it can be an obstacle, but you can overcome it too - don't give up. I know plenty of women who are big, really big, and who have happy lives full of friends and romance. I realize it doesn't feel like that and it's easy to SAY that... but it really is true. I think if you asked around this board you'd find many examples of women who are fat and who have found happiness.

As concrete things to do go, I would say getting involved is a big step, at least it was for me. Get involved in some sort of physical activity you can handle (I'm personally looking at tai chi - nice smooth easy movements) NOT to lose weight, just to enjoy using your body. Not to excercise per se, just to let yourself feel good about yourself, feel like you can move comfortably in your own skin. When you know your body CAN do stuff, you will enjoy it more. Also get involved in some sort of work that makes you happy, volunteer stuff especially - it gives you something to do, and again you start feeling so good about yourself.

You sound like a lovely person and you deserve all the joy of being alive you can get! We'll not have any of this dying slowly stuff, you deserve more. Life is yours if you choose it... I wish you peace and let us know how we can help you to get through what sounds like a very rough day!

*hugs* Sonnet
