Dated like crazy! That's one of the strange things now about losing weight... it's not that I'm vain, or think I looked terrible. But yeah, how do you change something when you're content with what you are. I guess you can be self-accepting and still accept you want something different for yourself. Something I'm still struggling with... Self-hatred makes it hard to do good things for yourself, or to want the best for yourself.

I tried being "happy" at 305 pounds, but I just couldn't do it. As I lost the weight, I did gain some sense of self acceptance that just wasn't there before. Not to say I'm all about appearance, because I'm totally not, but just to say that I agree that sometimes to lose the weight you have to get unhappy with where you are! These are really good points.
