Category: The Spirit of Weight LossRemembering How It Felt
To encourage permanent weight loss and your best health, write about what you were like when you lost weight before, or when you gained weight?
How did it feel to be heavier? How did it feel to be lighter and freer? Post this around the house and carry a copy with you, to remind you of the joy of weight loss. Again, send it to yourself or a friend.

Being heavy feels to me like rejectin.Rejection from people,society.It makes me feel guilty,because I overate,shameful,because I don't look good in my clothes.Just a feeling of overwhelming dispair,sometimes.
When I lost my weight I felt like I was walking on a cloud! I noticed more people spoke to me,I spoke to more people,I guess I just walk with a more confident air,and people are drawn to that.
It's sad to be an outcast because of your weight,but it's definitely a part of todays society....depressing for so many overweight women especially. My heart and prayers go out to you...overweight women unite!

When I lost weight I felt happy, loved (not by anyone in particular), sexy, and cute. I didn't worry about whether or not I could slip through a small space or if the chair I was sitting would hold me or if the person sitting next to me would have enough room to sit comfortably in their seat. I liked going shopping for clothes with my friends. My body moved when I told it without pain or hesitation. Somedays I hate the face and body I see in the mirror.
Being fat makes me feel like I don't belong anywhere. It doesn't matter what I wear, I just want to hide from the world. Sometimes I can't even imagine why my husband even finds me attractive at all. I want to feel like I used to about myself. I want to feel like me again.

hello everyone I am new on this I wish I had known sooner this was even on here because maybe I would of had the support and friends to help me cope with me being fat and done every diet imaginable. I am disabled from fibromyalgia and of course many other ailments. the one that i hate is that i have the fat thyroid disease and not the skinny one. I have always been 135lb. person at 5'3" and now woowee 205lbs. @ 5'3". lot of difference and alot of depression. thank GOD I didn't lose all of my personality. outgoing, never meet a stranger. well I am a stranger to myself. this weight came on rather fast and now i spend my time in Dollar General for my clothes-- t-shirts, sweats, shorts-men's, basketball shorts woowee sexy huh? No depressing. I am depressed, ashamed of my body, wont let my husband see me and you know what that means s___! I want me back and my body I would feel, look, and maybe look my age again because i just let myself go----no makeup, and i use to never go anywhere without being dolled up. I may cut my hair once a year. It is very depressing, because i can't get it off and i would not be in so much pain--lower back, hips, etc. you name it it hurts thanks to fibro. well this is depressing me just writing this. If any help out there please throw it my way. I'm in Terrell, Texas and looking for a walking group in this area, if anyone knows one let me know. thanks for listening.

Hello! I have lost and gained 1250 in my lifetime. I sit on the side of obese right now. I sit (yes, sit for lack of any activity beyond that.) I know I live within myself and I trust with my caregivers help (my, son) that I will overcome this ball and chain that claims me right now. I don't want to think about the work and vigilance this will take but because of my successes I know my capabilities. I want to live not die in this void of inactivity.
