Honestly, how in the flying flock can I have anything even close to a positive body image when I am told every day, if not directly than via advertising, how hideously ugly I am? I am nearly 50 years old and weigh around 300 pounds. I have started working out again and I have started monitoring my caloric intake although I am not going to do any kind of strict calorie reduction because that only leads to failure and weighing even more than I did before I started. Some days I don't really care what other people think. But sometimes I have actually considered suicide because I know I will always be a pariah. Hell, I was being told that I needed to lose weight when I weighed 130 pounds. Yes, you heard that right, 130 pounds. Give me a damn break. I am tired of this hateful society.
