Hi everyone... this is my first time on this site so I hope my post isn't weird. I just wanted to post about a struggle I'm facing, and feeling very alone; hoping this will be a good place to start.
I am approx ~40 lbs overweight. And every day I hear comments that just BREAK me.
This week:
Hairdresser: "oh, you're only 25? You're a baby- I had no idea! You know how it is... the skinnier people look the younger they look! I had no idea you were so young."
Male friend: "You know that beer makes you fat, right?" (I try to rarely drink beer, it was a vacation)
Male friend: "uuuuhhmmmm... I mean, I dono if you've ever been considered 'hot'"
My mom: "when you start to take care of yourself physically maybe you'll have better success at work and meet a man who will want to be your husband"
The list goes on. I guess... I'm just struggling to see any beauty or hope. It's hard to be young -ish and to feel that it's all down hill from here, do any of you feel that you suffer from comments in your daily life?
