OMG - this is me! I have put so much of my life on hold the past several years. I hate clothes shopping, I refuse to be in pictures, and I routinely make up reasons for why I can't go out with friends, when really its just that I don't want to put myself in a social situation where I'm just sure I will be judged and hated. In reality its me doing the judging and hating to myself. I keep telling myself I will do this or that when I lose some weight. Well, I've been divorced now for the better part of four years, and everyone of those years I've been determined that this will be the year I lose the weight and start my life over. Guess what? I'm 40 pounds heavier than I was then, and hating myself even more. I just joined dietbet and I am hoping that this is the thing that will finally give me the incentive to be consistent and really make those life changes. But I think nothing will really change until I learn to love myself. If you learn the secret to that, please share!
