Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 's Daily Message ThursdayOctober 05, 2006HIDE AND SEEK Did you ever play "Hide and Seek" when you were a kid? I did, and I hated it! It was sort of hard to hide being as big as I was, and everyone always found me. And as far as seeking goes, after a minute or two of trying to find that person, I was out of breath and was "seek-less." Every day, I talk with people who are hiding and not seeking a better life. Now, I`m not talking about people who are agoraphobic, which means fear of open spaces. I`m not talking about people who are morbidly obese and are totally housebound. I`m talking about men and women and teens who hide because they feel "fat and ugly." I am very shocked by how hard people are on themselves! "I`m so disgusting looking. I remember how I used to look and how great I looked in clothes. Now after a life of stress and hardship, I am just a big blob! I hate to leave my house because everyone that sees me will stare at me and pity me. They don`t have to say a word, because I know what they are thinking. My husband is so upset with me because I won`t go out with him. He just got a new job, and he wants me to socialize with everyone, but I don`t want them to see me and say, 'Why is he married to that enormous woman?' My kids want me to go and see them play soccer, and I always say I`m too busy. I don`t want my kids` friends to see me. I would just embarrass them. At 291 pounds, I`ve become lost in my own fat. I guess I was destined to be this way." Now wasn`t that a heart wrenching story? Can you relate to this story? Are you hiding, too? Have you closed your life down because of what you weigh? Do you think you`re ugly? If you do, I wish I was there to hug you and tell you to stop saying all those negative things about yourself! I would tell you to go and seek some help or your situation may worsen. I would tell you to talk with close friends and family members, and if you need it, seek professional help. Be kinder to yourself today, and don`t let your negativity take over another day of your life! Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
