I don't wish to argue, but that definitely was not my experience. My experience has been the opposite. I was fat. I hated myself and I hated my fat. Losing weight and becoming the thin person I longed to be, changed my life. I now love having my picture taken. I now love going out and being in public. I now love showing the world ME. I have not missed what is going on around me; on the contrary I was missing it before when I was fat, because I was too embarrassed to look at life let alone show my face. And now I am seeing the world and engaging it. I love life now. I hated it before.
