Being overweight makes you invisible. I mean you are quite visible because you are BIG but I was at a wedding this past weekend and I felt completely invisible at different points of the night. Maybe I notice this because I have been thin and now I am overweight. Between the wedding and the reception we went to a bar to pass the time. These old men started talking to my companion that was sitting right next to me and did not engage me at all. Like I was not even there. It happened again later in the night when my friend and I were at a table, just her and I, he came up and insisted she danced with him for a fast song and just ignored that I was right next to her. I can't blame them for not wanting to see me. I don't want to see myself most days but come on. Part of the reason I want to lose weight is so I can be seen again! I would like to be in a healthy relationship and you cant do that unless you date. How can you date when you are not visible to others?
Progress:
It has been just over a month since I started and I am done 18 pounds! I am really excited. I can do this. I need to tell myself this EVERYDAY. My goal is to be down another 25 pounds by my Birthday. That is just two months away. My mom is down 70 pounds in 5 months!
