[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 704182, member: 4040"] Well, I'm 5'4" and hovering close to 280. I know I'm overweight, and while I don't particularly enjoy being heavy, I'm doing what I can do at this moment in time. I take care with my appearance, hair and makeup done, clothes that fit appropriately (not tight and not baggy), and I make sure I feel comfortable with what I have on. I'm a substitute teacher, so my work wardrobe consists of denim (capris or jeans) and T-shirts (short or 3/4 sleeves), depending on the weather. One of my friends' mom's used to say, "If you can't hide it, paint it red," and I've totally embraced that logic. I can't hide my weight. I dress for me, not for my hubby, my daughter, or anyone else. I understand the overwhelming feeling, but you didn't gain it overnight, and you won't lose it overnight, either. One step at a time. This is not to say your feelings of embarrassment aren't valid, just try not to let your feelings consume you. Easier said than done, I know. [/QUOTE]
