Lately, I had never more conscious with my weight. I was not this heavy 3 years ago. Actually, I never had a problem about gaining weight before and my trouble back then was on how to gain weight.
My current problem started when my menstruation became irregular. It passed 3 months before it came, then it became 6 months. The worst, I reached 9 months from my last period before it arrived again.
Since then, I started to gain weight and I lost power controlling it. Whatever diet I do, it doesn't work anymore. This is when I started to feel insecure and conscious because my colleagues started teasing by calling me piglet since I got heavier each day. It was never a problem before since it was just a joke but now it irritates me when they call me that because I know it is becoming true.
Well so far, this is only insecurity that pisses me off. I hope I can find the solution soon.
Share yours too. :)

You are brave to share your insecurities and I am very sorry to hear that people would make fun of you. People who are not overweight really do believe they have it all together.
After some thought, I might post more.

Thanks for the sympathy but honestly, I don't take their jokes personally. What bothers me more is the truth behind that joke.
As what one saying goes, " Joke is half meant". I think they don't want to tell it straight in my face so they just express this in other way.

It's good that you can take it as a joke, and even better that you can focus on the problem itself and finding a solution. I hope you can find a diet or change in behavior that really works for you. Once you get started and have some little successes, you will probably be motivated to keep going.

wow! Im glad you found a motivator to manage your diet. I wish i had too! You see, my problem here is i am now having difficulty in controlling my appetite. Even i remind myself about the result of my eating habit i still get carried out by the crispiness of fries and the yummy smell of burgers. I wish there is a pill out there that can reverse cravings.
