Found new inspiration.

No, your friends don't sound like inconsiderate a$$holes. They just wanted you to have a good time (like they were) because they didn't want to see you in a bathing to judge you, they wanted you in a bathing suit so you too would have fun (like they were having fun)...

I'm sure they're not perfect either, they just don't have the insecurities that you have or more accurately, they are better are hiding them cuz we all have them :)
 
Beth-I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one, not, that I'm glad for your insecurities, but you know what I mean. Sometimes it's good to know that we aren't alone in our illogical thinking. :)

Moonbeam - Yeah, you're right, they really didn't know I was that upset and crying (I hid it well). They really did just want me to have fun too. I just didn't want everyone to think I hung out with a bunch of meanies.
 
You have a very considerate husband.
Had I been in a similar situation, I don't know if I'd have known what to do... unfortunately that doesn't say too many good things about me.

Well, thanks for sharing your story! Good luck.



btw, I'd take a T-bone in place of pork chops anyday.
 
I'm late reading this, but it's interesting how events can be motivating for different individuals. That being said...good luck in your endeavors to get the physique you desire and your quest for better self-esteem.

It's nice that you have loving, supporting people on your side. You're blessed that way, most do not have someone as supporting as your man.
 
Thanks, Evo, I appreciate that.

Things would be very different if it weren't for my husband. He has never made me feel anything but beautiful, even when I feel my worst. He's never one to give me that judgmental look if I go for a piece of cake, or make some snide comment about weight.

The only comments he will make are that I'm too hard on myself, and I'm not half as big as I let on. He pretty much reminds me that my perceptions of myself aren't exactly realistic.

Give me my husband back! LOL Mine's like that, too. He tells me all the time how sexy I am and how good I look, even if I complain that I "am too fat". LOL I'm glad he is supportive of you. It's great to have that!
