This is something I can totally relate to. After my weight gain when I stopped working I really got rather tired of people telling me that I looked fine and shouldn't complain and that they couldn't tell any difference. My response was usually 'well, you haven't seen me naked'... and it's not like the two people who get to see me naked are going to comment on my weight gain. In the end, whether it's noticeable or not to the 'Average Joe', I still feel fat and unattractive.

No one can tell you you're fine, you have to believe it yourself, or work to get back to where you're happy.

Neither of which are easy things to do.

*snuggles*

I still think you're sexy as hell, for what it's worth.
