Feeling ugly

[Misstully87]

I'm over weight! No denying it but I feel incredibly ugly now too because of it

One step at a time Rome wasn't built in a day! Set yourself a little target and share if it gives you a push

Turn how your feeling into a positive, use it to motivate you. Like what's already been said, make and reach little goals. If you Can eat more protein in your 3 main meals and less or no carbohydrates that will hopefully make you feel fuller for longer.

Also just because you you maybe over weight (as are so many of us) doesn't

..doesn't mean your ugly!! Beauty is in a smile, sparkly eyes, laughter, showing kindness....That is what makes someone beautiful :))

I have just the quote to inspire you

" You create beauty with your attitude, your behaviour and your actions,

it's all up to you".

Set your goals and there will be no stopping you xxx

Oh! I know exactly how you feel, but please don't. One of the many brill things about being here is that one gets so much support without being judged or misunderstood. You are not ugly. None of us are. I'm new here, but I see that people who have been here longer give absolutely excellent tips and information, but most of all buckets full of support. We are, after all, in the same boat. Keep writing here whenever you feel down!

Welcome. This is what I have been following to lose weight & get fitter.

nhs.uk/LiveWell/weight-loss..., and people have really noticed my change in shape. There is a new weight loss club starting on the website next week.

I agree with the others about your own attitude as well. There is a man probably in his sixtes who goes to the aquafit classes I go to. I know that over 3 years he has lost a lot of weight (I didn't know him before but it seeems he was very big). His blood pressure,cholesterol etc are all good now. I suspect when he started he felt a bit like you do now as when you ask him how he is when you meet he always say 'beautiful'. Good luck with your weight loss but be positive about yourself as well.
