but have had hesitations. about my weight. i just joined weight watchers. i don't want to weigh this much. i hate the way i look, and i hate the way i feel. so immediately i felt i would get criticism from other plus size people saying i should love myself the way i am. i do love m yself, but i want the weight off. i still support anything that has

i just started WW today! how funny.
don't ever ever let any fucking person make you feel guilty about taking care of yourself and doing what feels right for YOU. ya know? your not pushing a lifestyle on anyone but yourself so anyone who judges you for that is an asshole.

good luck and we should totally support each others efforts!!!!

But here's the deal. Sometimes we're just not 'the size we became' --- I know where my body has its balance (about an 18) but I remember being a 22 and going, ew. I feel like a gross gumdrop that was stuck under a park bench. So I increased my activity and changed what I ate. And the change was *good* I felt better and whatever. Yeah, I'm still "fat" at an 18 by external standards, but I'm active, and I feel ok in my skin.

But this is a choice you are making for yourself. it is not some society pressure, or some wierd external force... It is you, and your real reasons for enacting actual change in your life.

And you are doing it. awesome. :-)
