I am 5'2", 147 pounds, and I hate myself. I just feel so ugly. I don't even have a pretty face, and I'm just--fat. I just finished my last year of high school, and in all that time not one guy has ever asked me to dance or asked me out on a date. The only way I ever went out with anyone was by asking them myself, and that relationship didn't even work out. I love clothes in theory, but I hate actually shopping because nothing ever fits. What starts out being a fun trip to the mall always ends with a car ride home in tears. I'm just sick of being me all the time. I'm tired of always seeing the same not pretty face in the mirror and hating myself so much and always choosing baggy sweatshirts and sweatpants to try to hide my stomach. Someone actually asked me if I was pregnant--it was the most mortifying moment of my life. I just want to die.
Reply from Kara, Age 14 - 05/15/04 - IP#: 152.163.252.xxx Hey Kate. I know what you are going through..well mostly....because I also have cerebral palsy. Sometimes it really sucks like when I have to go places I always get stared at..I have to use forearm crutches to get around now..I really would like to work so that I don't have to use them by my senior year...which is four years away. I also have to wear braces..which I don't like either..and they always make this annoying clicking sound too...they're so loud! Anyway, if you want to talk, email me at AvrilRocks3373@aol.com. Love ya!
Reply from MissyK, Age 18 - 05/15/04 - IP#: 24.84.212.xxx I'm the same age and height as you. I also hate my weight. But you know what? Any girl's face could be cute...trust me! People used to call me UGLY all the time! Then, I finally lost some weight, and my life changed! Three guys seriously liked me for a period of time. And when asked by my friends why they liked me, they said they liked my confidence and my personality. So, my point is, motivate yourself to lose weight...you'll become more confident and with that comes attractiveness. Of course, once I entered University this year, I gained ALOT of the weight back, but I'm still not as insecure as I was before.
Reply from Heather, Age 18 - 05/15/04 - IP#: 24.71.223.xxx you and I are the same weight, and Im only an inch shorther than you, and I am not THAT big. I have had three boyfriends throughout highschool, and have been in a steady relationship now for upwards of a year. I used to think of being fat as a reason why people shouldnt like me, if something went wrong, its because I was fat, but the truth is there are many other reasons things happen. Try not to worry so much about you how you look and focus on how you feel. Dont get me wrong I want to lose weight too (thats why im here right?) but losing 20 lbs is not that big of a deal, its not that hard if you stick to it, and if you really want it then GO FOR IT! good luck.
