In social situations I used to OBSESS about my body and how I looked. I need to lose about 25 pounds before I am where I want to be, but you know what? Until then I WILL have a good time when I am out and I will not allow my excess poundage keep me from having a great time! I am who I am on the inside - those who know me and are close to me know what a fun, great person I am - being overweight does NOT make me any less than they are and I REFUSE to allow myself to feel inferior to others. I know I WILL get to my goal weight and will feel even more sexy than I do now. In the meantime, if you don't like what you see, well then look the other way and I will continue to enjoy my life as I am, thank you very much!
