I just recently started a blog and my first post was about this very topic. http://prairierprincess.blogspot.com/2009/08/100-lbs-to-go.html. <br /><br />Yes, you really have to deal with people's perceptions of you. I am a very sensitive person, and can usually sense others's perceptions of me. It's very painful at times. Good for you for acknowledging this truth. Take care!Sharileehttp://prairierprincess.blogspot.com/2009/08/100-lbs-to-go.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21498098.post-2922498865995209112009-04-29T14:40:00.000-04:002009-04-29T14:40:00.000-04:00Being a small 20-year old swedish girl of only 123...Being a small 20-year old swedish girl of only 123 pounds I really can't relate to any of your problems, but I have spent all day reading through your blog from your first entry and so forth! Now you may ask yourself why a girl with no weight problems is reading a blog ABOUT weight problems, but the truth is I'm one of those people who really feel attracted (in a friendly way hahaha, I'm no secret admirer) to people like you - people who are strong and charismatic and determined. I've been mesmerized by your writing; I absolutely love it. I love this entry the most though because you point out what is so important when it comes to losing weight; accepting and loving yourself while also accepting that the excess weight is not your friend (unfortunately). It IS unhealthy to be overweight, and it makes me so happy that you are the strong woman you are, and that you have decided to reward yourself with the gift of a long and healthier life. I truly believe you will reach your goal (I haven't read your latest entries yet so I don't know how things turned out for you)and I think you deserve it. Good luck on your journey, and know that you have support even from someone in a country as far away as Sweden.Sarahhttp://www.myspace.com/saranimonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21498098.post-63093652547934388462008-11-19T22:08:00.000-05:002008-11-19T22:08:00.000-05:00Apparently the last poster is quite ignorant.

You need about 5 SMALL portions every day. <BR/><BR/>I go to the gym daily. I eat correctly. I have normal blood pressure. I have normal cholesterol. My weight is the only thing that is not "normal."<BR/><BR/>People like you are the reason that I was at one point bulimic. I gained more weight after I went to doctors after that than ever, even after eating correctly. <BR/><BR/>Do NOT ever tell a person to "put down the fork" when you do NOT even know the person's history.<BR/><BR/>People like you, I wish, would become fat, just to know what it's like. No matter what you do, how much you exercise, how long you exercise, you barely lose a pound.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21498098.post-59882368896534380642008-07-29T18:52:00.000-04:002008-07-29T18:52:00.000-04:00BEING FAT IS A CHOICE.

I started to notice how strangers - people getting into lifts, waiters, specialist doctors- responded to them favouably from first contact. They were always treated politely and positively. They were in a kind of benevolent cycle. They never had, or had very few negative first impressions. So of course they see the world as a glowing warm place which then made them more beautiful. Now, as a non beautiful fattie, my world is one where I am judged non favourably. No wonder I'm a crotchety, suspicious of niceities old boiler. And what's worse I too favour the beautiful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21498098.post-49552909951926840302007-03-11T21:42:00.000-04:002007-03-11T21:42:00.000-04:00I tend to disagree with you on your premise that p...I tend to disagree with you on your premise that people don't choose to be fat. Granted, nobody says to themselves "I want to be 100+ lbs overweight", but it was the choices I made that made me fat...nothing else. Yeah, a lot of people in my family are overweight, but again, that's because of lifestyle choices and not genetics in my opinion. It was about making the choice to take the easy way out whether it's driving through McDonald's, or staying on the couch when you know you should be working out. I got tired of the excuses last October and made some changes. Just like the choices I had made thusfar have made me fat...the choices I've made since October 10th, 2006 are making me thinner.natohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15912227915002011153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21498098.post-24524157412870558292007-03-10T14:26:00.000-05:002007-03-10T14:26:00.000-05:00Hi!

I found your blog from the fatfightersdirectory.com. <BR/><BR/>I just wanted to say that I've posted a similar post about what it means to be fat and how fat doesn't define you. It's in my February 2007 Archives if you're interested in reading it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21498098.post-59588770103565884302007-03-08T14:44:00.000-05:002007-03-08T14:44:00.000-05:00Unfortunateley, that is part of the reason I decid...Unfortunateley, that is part of the reason I decided to start losing weight. i am going to graduate from collegeg in May and I noticed all of the girls who were already getting jobs in my field were the ones who were cute and petite. <BR/><BR/>And no matter how much we want to deny it, health care is a huge concern and when your overweight you do tend to have more health problems. <BR/><BR/>It doesn't really seem fair but I guess that is just how the world works. <BR/><BR/>AnnaMy name is Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09759106094075471790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21498098.post-43889432427672274472007-03-03T09:50:00.000-05:002007-03-03T09:50:00.000-05:00You're so right.

I had such a hard time finding a job in manhattan when I first moved here because of my weight. I finally found a job in a more open environment in Brooklyn at a non-proit agency. I feel like people see me as lazy and stupid because of my weight. Its so disheartening at times.<BR/>Lorrie<BR/>The Token Fat GirlLorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032536867735365517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21498098.post-6588267348708133022007-03-01T09:32:00.000-05:002007-03-01T09:32:00.000-05:00You know, this is something that I have been think...You know, this is something that I have been thinking about for a while now. People are so much nicer to me now than they were when I was 336 pounds. More smiles, more jokes at the checkout counter, more helpful at service desks, etc. And while I like the niceness and the help, it sometimes just seems so disingenuous. When I know how they reacted to me three years ago...<BR/><BR/>I don't comment much, but I really wanted to here.
