Hey man I was once there too, although ive slimmed down a lot my life hasnt changed much, except for the fact that people dont treat me as bad which feels a lot better. In highschool I guess they didnt think I could hear while sitting right next to them and that hurt a lot. I'm still way too quite, I never got over social anxiety and its ruining my life. But I guess its a little better cuz now I dont look totally out of place, before i was very noticable especially in size. Although I never dressed emo or goth. Now I just focus on getting in better shape, losing more weight, gaining more muscle and I pretty much keep to myself. I still dont have any "real" friends as I'm still discovering myself. I have a bro twin actually and he hates me cuz i dont wanna be like him oh and the fact that he weighs 100lbs more now.. I got the last laugh when he said I'd never be able to do it. but hes 6' 4" so he can pull off the overweight thing. So I guess Im not completly happy cuz I would like more people to talk to but I am happy with myself and what I've accomplished and the things I know I can do. And seriously guys you can do anything you want if you put your mind to it.. sounds cheesy but i realized it. Oh and dude this is not less than other problems on here, they dont know what being overweight can do to a person. And for everyone else who thinks fat people are always pissed, its because of you.. and remember they will always be able to kick your [wagon]!! 8)
