I understand that you feel that way, but in the grand scheme of things, does that really matter? Your previous life is past - you are doing what you are doing for your future. There are many people who would not have given you the time of day before, sure. But you are not that person anymore. Why hold on to that?

More and more people are going to start wanting to talk to you and may even want to hang out or even date. This is enviable. Let go of whether or not you think they would have done so before. You are not who you were. The new you is in a better place, healthier, happier, open to new things, and is a wonderful person. (-:

^^^^This a million times is so wise!!!

You have to forgive others (and yourself) for the pain they caused when you were MO. ((hugs)) As a fellow bd-girl I relate and understand!!

You deserve to find someone who loves you to beyond and back. But you won't meet them if you don't risk.

((hugs))

The thing is I am the same person as before... My weight was NEVER an issue or roadblock for me. I'm still a Master's holding, Art creating, multi-language speaking, world traveling, minimalist loving, hippy eco warrior I was before. ABSOLUTELY nothing has changed about me EXCEPT my weight. Those people who didn't see me clearly then can't possibly see me clearly now with the lust distraction...
