Can women be really happy with an overweight body?

I am watching a rerun of the Tyra Banks Show and the topic is about the struggles of fat women. While she is talking that women are beautiful no matter what the shape of their body is, my sister called me and told me that we're going to have a vacation in Boracay Beach next April. As much as I want to jump with happiness, I then looked at the mirror and pictured myself on a swim wear. Horrible.
I want to tell myself that it's ok and I don't have to diet and who cares anyways? There are lots of women on that beach wearing two piece swimsuits and no one will notice me. But I can't help but be sad and frustrated. I want to be slim. I have to diet. I want a beach ready body... badly.
I want to know if there are women here who are happy with their body and the way they look even if you're overweight? If so, have you tried wearing swim wear in a beach confidently? Or my self esteem is just too low and I am buying too many fashion magazines that's why I'm thinking like this?

Real happiness can't be measured with physical appearance including how tall or how heavy you are.I might sound defensive nut it's not like that.True happiness of a person can be measured through it's contentment of what he/she have in life.

i am some what overweight, not a lot but maybe 20 pounds or so and my hubby always tells me i am beautiful as do my kids. i honestly think it is what is inside that counts but the person has to be confident enough to know that weight doesn't matter and i am that confident person. i exercise daily and lead a very busy lifestyle and have lots of friends so i am pretty happy.

I am oeverweight and I am not happy with the way I look. I have struggled for years with my weight, and it seems like I just don't get anywhere. I do walk when the weather is good, and I suppose that helps, but it just doesn't sem to be coming off at all, or fast anyway. We can put the weightthat is tha on quicker that we can get it off, and that is the way it is. I don't like it, but i have to deal with it. I just purchased a Nutra-bullet, which is by the same company that made the Magic Bullet. this one is more powerful, and i haven't used it as yet, as I have to get the ingredients to make the drink, and this being New Years, i am not getting out. It is to cold anyway. I have done reviews on it, as it helps to lose weight among other things. I can't wait to get started and see how it goes. In the mean time, I will just have to watch what i eat, which can be really hard as thee are lots of tempting foods. Take care, and have a very good day.

The foods last holidays were really tempting and my diet was ruined. I only have three months to slim down so that I can wear a swimsuit on summer. I hope I'll be able to decrease the fats on my belly and arms by exercising and strict diet. I just can't be happy with my weight and now and cannot wear swimsuit on my body. I hope you're drinks would work so that you can also shed off extra pounds. It's so hard to diet when the body is used to eating so much. I hope I can do it. Thanks for responding and good luck on your weight loss!
