I realize that a lot of these may not apply to some and that some of these might make you say "well that doesnt matter anyway!" specifically regarding the things that others think and feel about me. The truth is, whether you're rock solid or not, ESPECIALLY if you struggle with your weight, little things like that do affect you in the long run. If you're saying to yourself, no they dont, then your not being honest with yourself. Thank you all for reading this :-)

Very interesting post! I can relate to many of the reasons you listed down. And I like how you concluded about people not being honest with themselves.
The number that caught me was no. 87 because weight has always been part of a 'joke' to me, making more fun of myself than others did.
I'll be watching your progress! Good luck and congrats on your loss so far :)!
