Embarrassed & ashamed.

spectrachic311 said: "I gained about 30 pounds in my first 3 months of college (yes, that's about 10 pounds a MONTH!) and during winter break, I saw a lot of my old high school buddies. They were nice, but I could tell that they definitely noticed that I was a lot heavier. It was around this time that I decided to get healthier, too. My 2001 New Year's resolution was to finally get healthy and really wow my friends when they saw me again. By the time summer break came around, I was down to 145-150 (from about 190 at winter break) and they were amazed! When I reached my goal weight, they were even more amazed. I guess my point is, your friends are your friends, no matter what you weigh. They may notice you gained weight, but I don't think they'll say anything rude or anything."

You never know. Almost all the people I see from the past have gained at least 20 pounds and many of them more. When I look at them I do not htink any less of them. I think, they look great mostly and am glad to see them well. I am sure she likes you and misses you and can not wait to see you, weight gain and all. You can be thin again too, this is just a phase you are going through. If you want it bad enough, you will do it."

I have felt this way about big social events when there are a lot of people around but not so much with just a few close friends because they already know at what point I am that I need to lose weight. I have battled with my weight for years, and I have learned one thing with time though don't miss spending time with loved ones and friends because you have issues with your self or you will miss out on some of the best times of you life, be happy in your own skin and make the best of each day and you can always work on improving your body and when they see you the next time they will give you such good compliments."

HDales said: "So.. waay back in 2002 and 2003 I was a skinny little thing, around 125 or so. Then I went away to college & balloned to 190 - 200ish.. I'm so disgusted with myself and sooo ashamed of what I am now.. One of my friends that I havent seen since 2002 - 2003 wants to come visit me and I think that I am way to ashamed with myself to let the person see me.. I feel like crap and I don't want my friends from the past see me the way I am now.. Any one else ever felt like this?"

HDales said: "Thanks for your posts.. Its good to know I'm not the only one who feels like this. Sometimes I think I am such a headcase.. Spectra.. I hear you about the weight gain.. from 2002 - 2006 I went from 125 to 200 lbs.. Even though I know my friends like me for me.. it still streses me out sometimes. I guess I just need a thicker skin.."

I saw your pics and if I was you I would NOT be ashamed: you are beautiful![/QUOTE] haha thanks.. i found this uplifting :) I do know I am pretty.. but.. sometimes I just don't feel pretty.. Like when I look in a mirror and see that dreaded double chin.. sometimes I freak out because I don't see my cheek bones anymore.. but mostly its just me being hard on myself and picking out all the little bad things and not focusing on the good ones. I also miss having smaller boobs.. lol.. sure they grew a lot and big ones are nice too.. but they get in the way a lot!!!!!!"

I have often drove past the martial arts studio and wanted to go in but I have never been able to bring myself to go in there. I don't want them to see me like this. I wish I could give you advice, but I am dealing with this issue myself. Angel"

lakelady said: "Oh, Dales, I've BEEN there! Try not to worry too much about it. if they're old friends the appearances will disappear with the delight of seeing each other in a very few minutes! Of course what happened to me might happen to you. After teen was born and I ballooned up over 200 pounds, after having been skinny for most of my life (excepting a few months post pregnancies), a friend from michigan whom I hadn't seen in 10 years was coming to visit. She'd used to model with me at local department stores when we were in college for extra cash, so I KNEW she was gorgeous. I worried about that meeting for weeks, even tried to come up with some way to get out of it! Then, when she got out of her car in our driveway I saw that she'd gained at LEAST as much weight as me! Life happens! It was only a minute before we were giggling and whispering like the old college buds we once were!"
