When I go out, I try to look nice, dressing in clothes that compliments my body shape as best I can. I wear a bit of lip gloss, maybe powder. Any way I was talking with a friend of mine, about doing so, because it makes me feel good about myself, fat or not. Now she is mostly thin with just a little bit of a pot belly, mostly because she doesn't stand up right. Now she does very little to make herself look nice, in fact almost the oppsite. I talked with her about this. She sees no point, what's the use she say's, she doesn't need to impress anyone. I'm not looking for a man. I said not for a man or anyone else, but for yourself, to feel better. She is pretty negative about most things and has kind of given up on a positive life. She has settled for a bad luck life as she sees it. Well latter that night, I was thinking how she is letting herself go, given up on herself, settleing. Then the rock hit me, I'm doing the same thing. I have let myself go, I had given up sometime ago, I had settled to be fat. No matter how pretty the clothes are, or the make-up, it doesn't hide the fact that I'd let myself go. I'm fat because, I haven't been eating right, exercising right. I've done little to take care of my self, in fact mostly the oppsite. I don't want to settle anymore.

This has been bothering me since you posted it. I'm truly bothered by your statement. It makes me uncomfortable because you forced me to admit to myself that I have also let myself go.

I used to be so excited, so motivated and ambitious. Not so many years ago, I was in the best physical condition of my life. I spent time and money on my looks. Then I got my heart broken and I let myself go. I've let myself down.

I want to feel powerful again.
