  • Everyone deserves happiness its just harder to find for some than others. As far as weight you CAN lose it. It takes alot of hard work and discipline but if thats what its going to take to give you the self esteem to have what you want then your going to have to do it or remain miserable. Most ppl can lose alot more than they think just be cutting out breads and processed foods along with simple exercise like walking. If you do it and stick to it you WILL lose weight. At some point you'll plateau and have to change up the method but depending on how much you have to lose that may be enough. Do you know your BMI?

    • She doesn't need to lose weight to feel good about herself. You're so rude. She can feel good about herself just the way she is. There are other ways she can gain self-esteem. In fact, I don't think losing weight alone would make anyone gain self-esteem if they have self-esteem issues. You're such a tool.

      • I thought mysistersshadow was nicer in this post about the whole overweight thing. She is just giving some advice. For health reasons, it is not a bad idea to lose weight if you are substantially overweight.

        That being said, if she chooses to stay overweight, then that is her choice and not necessarily a bad one if she is happier that way for one reason or another.

        But the bmi might be helpful here because lots of girls say they are fat and they're not really that fat. If someone is really obese though, for health reasons, it is good to lose some extra weight.

        • Thanks. I'm ignoring bobo becos hes clearly not mentally stable and seems to have a unhealthy obsession with me. For some reason he thinks hes been appointed the IIN police but the sad fact is hes clearly the one being a bully. Luckily for me I'm not fragile enough to be hurt by any of the shit he spews. And yea the BMI part is really important becos the problem may not be a problem just a misconception and since the OP clearly linked weight and self esteem it seems relevant.

        • Yeah I've seen her be worse but she's still not nice here or overall. She's totally off base that losing weight is the solution to self-esteem. The health stuff is up to the OP, but she didn't ask about that. I call out all the Jerks on this site including mysistershadow. I've been lurking here a while and I finally decided to make an account and call jerk ad bullies like her out.

    • Thanks for saying everyone deserves happiness. I think my self-esteem issues are about a lot of things. I don't know my BMI.

      • Google BMI calculator. You put in your height and weight and it will tell you.

        • It should also be noted that if you lose weight and are working out and building muscle, there will be a point where you will gain weight even though you're working out. The reason being for this is that muscle is denser and heavier that fat. So if you're losing weight and you start to level off and neither gain or lose weight, then it means that your body has gotten used to what you're doing and should change it up a little bit.

          BMI calculators aren't very accurate if all you do is put in an age/height/weight because someone could be extremely muscular for their frame and the calculator could say they're obese. Best way to check is simply going to the doctors and having them test you.

          And losing weight may/may not give you a boost in self-esteem. I feel you get a good boost of self-esteem by finding something you're good at, whether it be cooking for others, sewing, knitting, programming, cheering others up, tutoring someone, etc.

          And as others have said, love knows no bounds. You can definitely find someone who'll love you they way you are now. And if you still feel the need to lose weight for yourself, I'm sure they'd help encourage you and support you through it and will love you regardless of whether or not you reach your goal or not.

          I hope you find someone.

          • You would have to be insanely muscular for a BMI calculator to say your obese and if you were that muscular you would know the calculator was off.

            • I'm not saying you'd have to be ripped. Even if you have fatty parts, it doesn't mean that you're not building muscle. So people have lots of muscle underneath a layer of fat.
