Tired of rejection!!!!!

Need to get this out there for all to read. All replies and/or comments are greatly appreciated. Since about the age of 8 I've always been fat, fat, fat! Needles to say the rejection and humiliation from my peers was horrifying. All normal facets of growing up from childhood through adulthood (now 33) have been absent from my life, eg. dating, going to the beach, etc. High school was especialy traumatic. I mean which decnt looking girl wants to date a fat slob! Can't really blame her. My obesity is a barrier in every way, socialy, romanticaly and even in business. My toughest hurdle is detaching the emotions that food has misrepresented to me all these years. I've finaly decided to change my habits for good, not only for myself but for the day when I start a family as well. There is no way my kids will learn the unhealthy habits that put me through such misery. I know with a patient attitude things will start to change for the better. I will definately visit here often.
Thanks for listening.
