But anyways...

heres this one for shits and giggles ! bahahahah ENJOY my lovelys!

[EvilWombatQueen]

I actually think you look terrific in that photo! I don't want to sound preachy, and naturally I support you in your endeavours to lose weight (this is a weight loss forum after all!), but I never think anyone looks 'disgusting' because they're heavy. You definitely don't look disgusting in that photo! In fact you remind me of a couple of stunning plus sized models I saw recently on another blog.

You're a gorgeous girl! I'm of the opinion you should love your body regardless of what size it is. That way you can enjoy your weight loss journey even more because you relish every size you are as you get smaller rather than hating yourself until you hit the 'holy grail' of your goal weight.

[Czarina]

Yay Danni! 10kg gone and you're now doing it without the Duromine, you are doing so well!

Don't kid yourself 10kg is a lot of weight, think about it - try carrying ten bags of flour around, then you won't think 10kg isn't much! I know I had to think of things this way to put it in perspective.

I'm going alright, a few things are stressing me out at the moment and the scales aren't being too kind (just getting to the end of TTOTM), but I'm keeping at it. Have gone under my calories the past couple of days, as I lose my appetite when stressed, but I'm sure I'll make up for that on the weekend. Going down to Ballarat tomorrow to go house hunting, so I doubt we'll be doing a lot of cooking!

I agree with EWQ, you look great in that photo! You really have to try and be happy, no matter what you weigh. If you are doing the right things and looking after yourself, your *ideal* body will come in the end. Until then, enjoy the journey, feel great about the fact that you have a healthy body and enjoy life!

Hope you have a great weekend!

hahaha oh u chicky babes are too much for my sore ribs...you made me laugh..then have a coughing fit ! Stupid tonsilitis /flu/asthma

Well...I dunno I believe wat u guys are saying...Kinda...BUT...I have Been overweight my whole life and had to deal with mean ppl making me feel 2cm tall ! And I guess it's been drilled in my head that I'm not beautiful, that I'm just a fat girl. I know I have a loving and caring heart...that's one thing I trust in myself...but I have NO confidence..so when I receive compliments...I just feel like it's said to be nice...esp when I'm not used to it. I can imagine u ate prob thinking "shutup DANNI" but that's really how I feel...

Thanku for making me feel better about myself though...I'm slowly losing this weight and even though I'm not seeing the changes yet...hopefully at a 15kg loss or sumfin...I may see the change!

You two are so lovely...I can see why u both have ur lifetime partners. Ur so caring and sweet and beautiful inside and out. Definitely my inspirations

See I've always been overweight too but I've always found that people can only make you feel small as you will let them, I'm no dainty thing and have had enough nasty comments thrown my way but I always have a smile to throw back and that's about it, I think that big is beautiful, my only problem is that big isn't healthy I wish it was because I am much more uncomfortable now that I have lost a little of my weight than before, I find everyone who says "wow you look great with the weight you lost" makes me think that they had a problem with the way I was before, not that it makes me upset, but I looked great the way I was and I don't understand that everyone thinks the smaller you are the better you look, I have known a couple of people who looked great bigger, lost the weight and faces changed curves changed and they just weren't attractive anymore! It just irritates me the preconceptions people have about big girls.

Hey guys,

I'm sorry that my post has upset people, especially Whit3 who is just a wonderful person.

I just re-read my post, and unfortunately it did sound as though I was accusing those who have unfortunately committed suicide of 'giving up', however I just wanted to clarify that this was not at all my intention. I meant that the people who are giving up are those people that let their bad experiences turn them into bad people - and they then inflict bad experiences on other people who don't deserve it. Suicide to me is not a form of giving up - I have been there, I understand it, it feels like the only way out of a huge darkness that you've lost your way in and its suffocating you. Suicide is a tragedy.

I apologise greatly for what I have said, and I apologise to those that I have hurt. I hope that in time you can forgive me.

I don't think that you should have to apologise for your opinion, When I was five I found a close family friend hanging from a rope and I learnt very early what suicide was and began trying to understand it, I have had a few people that have been close to me in life commit suicide and guess who hurts more now... them or me? they are gone. I have had suicidal thoughts myself at times and even gotten close to going through with it, but the thing that always stopped my was my previous experiences and knowing that it is not the person who commits suicide that suffers it is the people they leave behind. And just because your life is censored at a certain point in life doesn't mean it always will be. I don't believe people who think about committing suicide are all cowards I think most people think about it at some stage. It often seems the easiest way out , though life isn't meant to be easy, but I do believe your first comment was right it is weak, it is giving up, it is choosing not to fight for yourself and go the hard route, it doesnt matter how bad off you are there is always someone worse, and I understand that if you have lost someone to suicide you can feel the need to defend them and blame the people around them, but the blame ultimately rests with the person who commits suicide, they made a choice and their choice was to not give a censored about you and how you would feel after losing them.

Suicide is a selfish thing

Hey Danni,

You are absolutely gorgeous! And I dont mean your more recent photo your first ones as well! I'm not just saying nice things for encouragement, your facial structure is really beautiful, I hope you don't lose it with your weight loss, and your body is really well proportioned. I big smile and a bit of confidence can often lead to more rewarding man hunt than any kind of weight loss.
