I’m almost 16, and I’m obese.. I’m pretty sure. I weight 256 pounds, I’m 5’4’ and I’m on my path to losing my weight. Hitting 256lbs was my breaking point.. I know I could be much heavier but this weight is scaring the living shit out of me, I’m morbidly obese and only 16. The ultimate goal for me is burning off 136lbs by college which would be 2021. But, recently I’ve gotten into the tech center in my county for Medical Assistant! Which I’m so glad about but I want to look better in my scrubs then I know I will when I go in.. I was calculating earlier today.. and the maximum I found for my age, weight, gender was 80lbs.. which would put me at only 50 more pounds to lose! But i know it’s highly unrealistic.. so more like 50-70lbs.. but I feel bias, and I can’t see a doctor anytime soon, so if anyone has any insight, it is well appreciated! How much maximum do you think I could lose by September this year?

P. S. : I know being overweight has its social downsides so I’m just gonna put it out there. I’m not looking for any kind of shaming! That’s not my goal here. If you have a issue with unhealthy overweight people attempting to get healthy that’s your thing, but keep it to yourself. Thanks!

I’m in my mid twenties and the lack of attention I’ve received from guys throughout the years has impacted my self esteem negatively. I’ve had to try online dating since I’m lonely and unnoticed in person. And you best believe that hasn’t worked for me. I’ve lost weight too and I’m still never approached. I’m told I’m attractive, sometimes by strangers yet still no suitors. I just want to cry over my lack of relationships and how sad I feel. I feel like I’m doomed. Trust issues from previous negative social encounters hasn’t helped either. I just wish I was that girl that could bounce from relationship to relationship because of my multiple options but I’d be lucky to get one date. Could I be invisible because of my looks?
