We can commiserate, but I'm really thin. My bones can protrude from
the skin in my chest. Very disconcerting, but then I can pretend to be
an alien.

Stop it. I have no idea what you look like, but I would bet you are not ugly.
And being over weight can be worked on. It can. You can't just give up hope
like you do. Fight for yourself -- for the worth of yourself.
I can tell by your little comments here and there that there is a man within
you worthy of a good fight so you can yell out upon winning "Hail victory!"
I am hoping for you.

i often feel that there is no point trying. if i lose weight, i'll be slim
and ugly again, and still nobody will want me. i never feel good enough- i
always feel like a failure, even when i succeed in something. and i always
worry that things may get even worse at any moment.

i don't know. nobody in real life seems to like me, so it is difficult to
believe.
so you can yell out upon winning "Hail victory!"
i'll never be a winner.
I am hoping for you.
Rosena
thanks.

Marty -
That's the depression talking. The beast is evil and ever so clever in its
seduction. Somehow it feels good, it feels "right" when one sees oneself
in that way. I know that you've tried positive thought processing in the
past, and I also know that it's a difficult thing to do, but it is true
that one must like oneself in order to live with oneself. We've no choice,
really, as we're all in our own skin 24/7. You do have positive and
redeeming qualities. Start by accentuating the ones that you notice.
Other good qualities will come to forefront as you do, and other people
will also begin to take notice.
I've been there, Marty. Lots of times. Try not to listen to that evil
beast.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and thus a depressed person with a
negative take on everything is not usually the best judge.
Another thing to ponder, is that all our features are slightly assymetrical,
and are not portrayed accurately by a mirror. You're about the only person
who doesn't get to see the real you. A good example of this is my
tortoiseshell cat, her reflection is really bizarre, but she's beautiful in
real life.

Well, I generally look "better" (better as in, I have more kinetic
energy because this electron just transferred some momentum to me...
in engineering we call that "negligible") in the mirror than in
photographs. In photos, my skin looks like **** and I can really tell
that my right eye is totally different (smaller and doesn't have the
folds) than my left eye.

it will be a difficult struggle without losing the weight, so why not make
it a worthwhile struggle along the way, and, discovery in the process, the
side effect of weight loss - health. feeling better. even if you call
yourself ugly.
