I hate the overweight me

character: 28 year old male, single. Height : 1.77. Weight: 115kg last weigh in

Ben : I am fed up. Fed up with the way people look at me. Fed up with people giving me advice on how to lose weight. You think I don’t know?

I eat minimum. I get so hungry that my tummy makes noise. I can’t exercise much so I go swimming. Movement in the pool is easier for me. When I enter the pool deck, people stare. I want to shout at them, “I am not naked. Why are you staring?

I suppose some mean well. The only ones who get on well with me are the overweight ones. We gather to eat occasionally. I wish I could buy a motorcar. I look awful on my small bike.

I was at a gym and on a treadmill. The boss came over and suggested I try other equipment. He said so politely my weight might spoil his treadmill and exercycle. Doesn’t he know I pay him every month to be a member?

I am practically on a diet of vegetables and fruits. To get the necessary nutrients, I use a juicer and drink a lot of fruit and vegetable juices. I spend time in the sauna. I take long walks whenever I can.

But this tummy in front of me is an insult to me. People judge me by my appearance. As if I have no mental discipline. As if I am not educated. As if I am a subspecies- inferior to them.

Social-life is non existent where girls are concerned. I have been active on the internet chatting and making friends. Girls seem to like me. But when they ask for my statistics, the relationship ends.

I believe it affects my career too.

I used to care what others think. Now, I couldn’t care less!!!

    I understand how it feels but sometimes we just couldn’t care much on what others see on us.

    we can’t pls everyone.

    Do something only to pls ourselves.

    life is sometimes not so simple :)

    Take life easy. One shouldn’t really care about what others say unless it’s something that’s of value.

    But then again, that takes wisdom to discern what’s good and what’s not.

    Meh, life is tough. So, take it easy… :)

    It’d be surprising to know that people who diet and eat less die faster than so-called fat people. ;)

    I am 70kg and aim for 65kg but my fat s all at the abs side :( I will take a pic around Christmas and show if i am successful in my diet :)
