I had very similar problems to LStump. I've been overweight since about 12. Carrying my weight in my stomach. Being asked "when are you due?" and saying, "I've never had sex, I'm 16!" My grandma used to send newspaper clippings about losing weight. She thought she was helping, I was a crushed 10 year old. Being barked at (yes, as in woof woof)and called names at school. I just never felt "worth it". "Why try? It won't do any good" "It must be true, there's no point." That was my mantra.

Until I met my hubby. He loved me so much it showed me I am worth it. He's made me a stronger person through love and being a butt head. He helped me see that all those insults and comments weren't who I am. I am worth looking beautiful, and being healthy!
