Let's get serious about FAT

Tweet

As Oprah once said "if there was a magic pill I would have it" how true, let's be serious we are not overweight because we "eat to much" we are overweight because we obviously have some self worth issues. Gastric banding, diet pills or shackes are not the magic cure......"What is it then" I here you say, a full and comprensive understanding and more imprtantly love of yourself. Easier said than done I hear you say, but it is the only way we are truly going to understand our weight problems. I have only recently come to terms with the fact that I have gained weight as a protective cover for the real me. Now I know that the reason I put on soooooo much weight is that I was puting up a protective wall around myself. It is so much easier being the funny, fat friend than being the one all the boys want to date. I learnt this warped leason as a teenager as when I was that age, some of my friends made comments about me being too pretty to introduce them to their boyfriends. You may say "oh poor pretty girl" (NOT) however at the time it did effect me deeply, as I never wanted to be the pretty girl I wanted to be the girl that everyone wanted to be around. Not because I was pretty but because I was intelligent and fun to be around (which between me and you I was and still am). Anyway I would like you all to join me on a journey. A journey about understanding and more importantly appreciating who I am and along the way losing weight and being that girl who is old enough and proud enough to say "I'm a hot, intelligent, fun loving, independant women". Please join me on this journey, I would love to hear from you
