I can relate to every single comment made here. I recognise myself in everything that has been said, confidence, health, being able to buy cheaper clothes, blending in, embarrassment. For me, when I initially started this thread, it was like facing up to my fears. I have always ignored my thoughts and feelings as I didn't like what I saw. As I said, no photos of me exist in the house as I didn't like what I saw, and if I didn't see it, I didn't need to worry. I know the problem won't go away and it was up to me to change my eating habits.

I have more confidence now. I am on a journey and I am halfway there. We are all on this journey together, but what I needed to do was to face up to the truth and admit to myself what my fears were and how I truly felt. I've now done that and don't feel embarassed about what I've written as I know I am not alone.

Thanks guys, you're going to make my journey that bit easier as I know I have you with me every step of the way x

Initially it was because I couldn't walk around without getting out of breath - I denied that it was due to my weight for so long, and because I wasn't fit, but since I've lost nearly 4 stone things have improved.

I wanted to change my life for the better and to stop being the "fat" friend.

I want to have more confidence to do things.

I want to be able to go into ANY shop and not have to worry whether my size is there.

I want to look slim and beautiful for my boyfriend.

I want to BE slim and beautiful for my boyfriend when we get married

Thanks for starting this thread Kay, it has really mad me think and you are so right, it had made me face what I fear. Which I need to do. I am getting less mobile, I am. I can still do everything; the shopping, stairs, walking etc.. but it takes more out of me than it did and I get a lot more aches and pains now. I am over 50 and if I don't sort it now then I know I am going to be very sorry.

This thread is great, I feel such a connection with all the people on here who have voiced what getting the weight off will mean to them.

I would like to be happy and confident in myself. I used to be slim but not happy always trying to achieve a completely ridiculous goal!! I'm a bit older and wiser now so I dont want the world, I would just like to like me when I see me from all the angles in the shop changing room!!!!!
