Hi.. I'm new here. My name is Tina. I decided to join here because I need some support. The straw that broke the camels back was seeing a picture of myself posted on my friends myspace from last weekend.

I say "Anorexia but different" meaning.. you know how anorexics look in the mirror and see fat even when they are skin and bones.. well I look in the mirror I see some weight I can lose.. I say to the reflection in the mirror "yeah.. you're curvy but you are still hot. you're still working it." and I walk with confidence. But.. then I see pictures of myself and I'm like OMGoodness... and it's not just one bad pictures.. it's like any and ALL pictures. Heck.. I'm 5ft 6 1/2 and I weigh 230! Technically.. I would qualify for the lap band surgery. But maybe I've just been in denial of my weight issue. But I see pictures of myself and I HATE myself. I want to go and hide. I seriously just stopped crying.. no wonder I can't get a date anymore. Blah.. Here I was, walking around like I was cute but really.. I'm a cow.

Way to go girl on what you say to your reflection!! You don't have to let pictures control how you feel about yourself, ha, easier said than done. Because right now it makes me really uncomfortable to think about taking a full body picture. I thought I looked good after I lost some weight too and then when I saw myself in pictures, I was disgusted with myself again.

I am sure you could get a date if you could stick with that confidence. A man that is worth it wouldn't judge you based on how much you weigh. I would rather someone love me for who I am than what I look like, cause what will happen when the looks fade- they will leave? If they just want you for your body, then they aren't worth your time!!!

Welcome to the group!
