Will losing 20-25 lbs make a difference in my appearance?

[Anonymous]

I was a really cute little girl, but after my dad and grandpa passed away, my mom and I kind of lived on junk food and tv dinners for a while. So ever since I was 7 I have been overweight. I don't feel as if I am pretty at my current weight. I look back at my pictures and the only ones that I really think I look good in are when I am 5 or younger lol. I am 5'6' 150 lbs. My ideal weight is about 130. Would losing weight make a difference and make me possibly more attractive? Also, once an overweight person loses weight, do people always think of them as overweight?

people only see what's in front of them. So if you loose weight no one will remember you as you were except in passing. Will it make you feel more attractive? If so then you'll act more attractive, and that is more attractive. Confidence and poise are so much more important than weight.

Yes, dropping that much weight will change your appearance.

Yes, it will make a big difference.

Of course. Especially if a majority of it is fat.
