While I was working out I realized that I've lost over 50 lbs this past year by going to the gym nearly every day and eating right. After 5 years of struggling with my weight and participating in fad diets, I may still be overweight, but I'm finally starting to feel beautiful. It GMH.

It's great that you've lost that much weight, and doing it the right way too! I admire so much that you didn't give into the pressure society weighs on us, and you kept on going. Don't just feel beautiful - you are beautiful.

@ #5: I don't think you know the true meaning of the word beautiful... beauty goes far beyond looks!

Those fad diets never work. Cool that you've found something that makes you feel good. In regard to #5, technically that's true. But what's beautiful to one person may be ugly to another. What matters is that the OP feels beautiful. Because how a person feels about themselves does determine how others see them.

I have been fighting a weight loss battle all my life- I was always on the verge of being obese, and was getting so sick of hearing my parents rag on me about it that I insisted I loved my image when really, it tore me apart. I started Weight Watchers in February after having 'competition diets' with my father for years. They never worked and left me feeling hungry, dissatisfied, and worst of all, I felt like I was struggling to hold on in some vicious battle. Since starting WW, I've lost 20 pounds. My ultimate goal is 43lbs- I'm 5'4'', and that is roughly 1/5 of my starting weight. I'm so proud of you for being diligent and so motivated. I know how hard it is to struggle for each pound and to keep going back to the exercise no matter how sore, angry, tired, or miserable you may feel. Congratulations. Always feel beautiful- you are. You're beautiful for being motivated, for being strong, for realizing you were dissatisfied and doing something about it. You're a beautiful person for being proud enough to post your story, and you deserve the support and love of all around you, including us here at GMH. Let me know if you ever want to chat. I'd be honored. Thank you for being an inspiration.

You don't need to be thin to be beautiful, trust in yourself, and don't listen what media says about beauty. The only reason you'd have to lose weight is health, but I'm pretty sure you won't need so. Stay lovely.
