They're too busy worrying about themselves. But I look around, see that I'm the fattest person in the room and I can't help being self-conscious. <br /><br />Maybe it's because I've always been the fat girl. I can remember feeling fat as far back as 6th grade. I don't have the ability to think of myself as a confident, sexy female. In my opinion, I never have been. <br /><br />But perhaps you're right. Fake the confidence so long and maybe it will become real confidence.Pieces of Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00385616405721051398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534136250594778105.post-66291963921672302672010-07-26T21:55:06.850-07:002010-07-26T21:55:06.850-07:00Can I just say that I completely understand where ...Can I just say that I completely understand where you're coming from? At my heaviest I was 331. I'm currently 205. Even though I have dropped over 100 lbs. in the last 15 months, with the majority of that weight being lost in the last nine months, I still have the Very Fat Girl Mindset.<br /><br />I have been wearing shorts for three weeks now, and tank tops (that show off my oh-so-lovely bingo flaps) for about six weeks. I was so horribly self-conscious at first. I thought EVERYBODY WAS LOOKING AT ME and critiquing my bingo flaps, my thigh cellulite, etc. But honestly? They're not. They're really not. It's taken me several weeks to figure out and accept that people aren't paying attention to me. It's due largely, I think, to the fact that more and more people are obese... it's becoming more common, sadly.<br /><br />I know it's hard, but try not to be so self-conscious. Carry yourself with confidence, resist the urge to tuck yourself away or somehow minimize yourself. Fake the confidence if you have to -- I know I have! Confidence is sexy, and it shows others just how good you're capable of looking. :)<br /><br />Jenn of jenn.nu / x@jenn.nu<br /><br />P.S.
