hey people, i was just wondering if anyone in here has the same problem as me and what they did about it. i am 5"3 and weight 177, although thats down from 189 which i was just a few weeks ago i still have the same problems and dont see how loosing weight can help. my 2 best friends both have boyfriends who are best m8s and i feel very left out and feel like i am not wanted there when i go out tiwht them. i just feel that no matter what i do no lad is gonna b interested in me. it realy gets me down because i feel it is making me less confident about myself. anyone in a similar situation or has advice? xxx

First off don't get down because your doing great on your weight loss!!! Second right now just focus on eating right, exercising, and having fun this summer!!! And when you get to your goal weight guys will start drooling over you:)SO lose weight and their is still plenty of time for guys later. Good luck. If you have any ?'s just ask me.

remember even if you weigh 500lbs boys respond well to a girl who loves herself. Guys like confidence so even your friends are skinnier (i know my friends are) dont let yourself feel a step down from them. You are just as sexy and pretty as they are. Might i suggest you read the book Skinny Women are Evil by Mo'nique that book is a hilarious tribute to any big girl out there, and go out to your local Lane Bryant and buy some outfit that makes you feel pretty. It's all in your head, and remember there are PLENTY of fish in the sea. Not having a boyfriend now means that you are just waiting for the right one to come along.

I have kinda the same problem, u really shouldn't lose weight just to fit in, but losing weight makes u feel better a/b urself so u will feel better. Keep losing weight and if ur problem still isn't solved, just wait.

If you really feel that badly about hanging out w/ them, why don't you hang out less with them until the rest of your weight comes off? You know it will, with a diet and stuff, and when it does, youll look and feel great, and some boy will come along, and you wont feel left out anymore!!
