  • i dont define myself because of my weight. i dont worry if i will have an issue on a plane (its never happened) i dont worry about if i can get on a roller coaster ride (its happened once). i just worry about being happy. i have a career i LOVE. i have a very small group of amazingly supportive friends, i wear what i want, because i want to. i wear tank tops, i wear shorts, i go to the beach, in a bathing suit (a tankini even) by myself because i WANT to (and its good for your soul). i work in the most superficial business in the world, and people trust me to run departments, manage people, handle finances, and make sure things get done. just because im fat does not mean im stupid or incompetent and more than if i was gay(im not) or of a different race) its just something. like being a brunette (i am). it doesnt matter what anyone else thinks about me. i dont have the time to dwell on thier negative energy. and i hope that some of my positive energy rubs off on them.

    I've got a husband who loves and cherishes me.. which is better than almost anything else in the world.
  • thank you guys so much for this thread.
    i was supposed to go out dancing tonight but have been feeling so gross about my weight that i wasnt going to go at all. after reading this - i'm going to go.
    thank you - everyone - for being so inspirational!
  • Congratulations to each and every one of you!

    I tend to "baby" myself because I'm so afraid of hurting my knees or back or whatever. It seems like it happens so easily! But after reading all of your accomplishments, maybe I'll try harder!

    THANKS!!
  • Hi,
    I don't usually post this forum since technically I am not 300+ (I was 278 and now 268) but I do read, and I wanted to say, this thread touched me deeply!!!! Reading it, as well as the other "because of my weight" thread, was so inspirational. It made me eat right all day yesterday. While I too have missed out on so very many things because of my weight, I also see so many blessings in spite of my weight. Thank you for sharing your stories!! We will all get there if we keep trying!
