Goods looks now a days is really one criteria of being on top. Whether having numbers of friends, having nice job, winning someones heart, earning respect, everything. One way of having good looks is being fit. However, it's not easy to achieve specially when you're used to the things that opposes you of being the way you what you to be. I am actually chubby that made people call me ugly. It hurts when they address me that way specially when even those I call friends would name me one. I'm really thinking of achieving my dream of becoming fit. I wanna lose weight for them, for everybody and for myself yet, I don't know how to start. Does anybody felt the same way and made it? maybe you can give me the process you went through.

It's very sad to hear people calling you ugly including your so called friends just because you're chubby. It's actually the people around you that defines what is beauty and it's sad that they can make you feel less inferior. What you said is a fact though and it takes one tough cookie not to be affected by what the society dictates. I have never been fat actually and the heaviest weight i've gained my entire life is only 55kg at 5'3" and some people told me i was fat while others who have known me over the years still considered me skinny. Right now i'm only 53kg and i'm happy with this weight however i want a toner legs because my thighs and arms are actually flabby. My frame is slim but i have big thighs and flabby arms. I think it only takes discipline so one can lose weight. I shed off my extra 2kg psychologically because of what others called me:fat! I wasn't aware that it has affected me that i noticed though that when they started calling me fat, i started to lose my appetite as well.

Welcome to Mylot Aaron. I am size 16 and i am chubby but do i look ugly to you? Oftentimes, it is confidence that saves those who are not in the social standards of being fit. Dont mind those people who pick on you! Those people are just insecure with themselves such that they like to pick on other people. Dont even bother to listen to them so that they would look stupid. Live healthy for yourself and not for others. I have my share of struggles in being fit. Nobody gets fit overnight. We will just have to be patient. I would strongly suggest that you see a nutritionist to guide you. For the meantime, we have to exercise regularly. See you around!

I want to lose weight too. I did the weight watchers program last year and joined the gym. I lost like 20 pounds. I've put a little of it back on though. Things have been tough, I had to quit weight watcher and the gym. I know what I need to do, I've just been too depressed to have the motivation to do it. But I'm going to start asap. I have a wii and an xbox360 both that have exercise games. I want to feel better about myself.

I am losing weight, too. I won't say all that much about it at the moment, but if you want to look at my journey feel free to take a look at my blog that I'm writing to attempt to help anyone who needs it. The link is here (NOT a referral link): http://gemmafromfattofit.blogspot.com/ However, you say that people call you ugly. I would like to point out that it is THEIR problem, not yours. I don't know how much you weigh exactly, but you should make sure that you're wanting to lose weight for yourself rather than for anybody else who might have been commenting on what you look like because, quite frankly, it's none of their business.

I am trying to lose weight too and what I do is I try to cut off snacks. I also walk a lot now, my City is a small city so its easy to get around to.Lastly I refrain from drinking soda and eating sweet food.

I'm not agree with you for saying that the beauty of outside appearance is the only way for the people to be loved, gain respect and accept by others. All of us are created by God in his image and there are always a purpose for everything. Maybe you have not given a good looking figure but God has a best plan in your life if you just follow His will and have a good heart to others. For me, being a chubby is not an ugly. Maybe your just exagerating it for thinking that you really do but it is not. I think if you are really conscious about your figure then try to do something to loose weight since being fat is not really good to our health. There's a lot of way of loosing weight and the best way is regular exercise. Jogging or walking is one of the best exercise that you can do plus food diet.

its true sometimes,iguess. becus ur appearance is the first impression u give to others. we cant talk or interview with masks on ,, but it doesnt matter if we really accpet ourselves. i dislike the friends calling u in that way, they are so selfish. dont take it seriouly,just do what u would like to do,u wanna change,just change,u wanna loose weight,just be on a diet..dont be bothered by peoples judgement..dont let useless things to block ur eyes,just think for urself.... be on a diet or do some exercises,or make some plans ,just be patient and perseverant,trust urself,u can make it.....
