Yes, I am. I've never ever been what you'd call "thin." Nobody in my family is thin. I'm extremely self-conscience of it. I either feel like people are staring at me because I'm overweight or that I'm invisible because I'm overweight and average-looking. I don't think I've ever had a normal guy (when I say normal that excludes men waaay too old for me and drunk people lol) even give me a second glance. It's rather annoying that my best friend (Melissa) can eat whatever she wants and doesn't gain an ounce. We eat too much junk food, but it certainly doesn't harm her figure.

I've actually lost about 25 lbs or so since last summer, but I don't notice a difference. I'd like to lose at least another 30 lbs.

As far as social-wise like I said, I've never been thin so I really don't know how that feels. I do usually feel more comfortable around other overweight people though.
