I thought losing weight would make me happy but it didn't. It actually made me MORE self conscious and uncomfortable because I started to receive more attention from men. I felt like everywhere I went I was being scrutinized. It was awful. At least when I'm fat I'm invisible.

@DearAmbellina2113 Although, some men prefer fat women.

@DearAmbellina2113 No, I’m pretty sure it was admiration. But being objectified would be uncomfortable.

@DearAmbellina2113 lol @ the last line. But yea I can understand that. Beauty can be a curse. Chicks hate on you and guys are all over you

@iamnikki I found the best thing the degree got me has been when i've applied for jobs and they're looking at eliminating applicants, so they usually pick the ones with the lower qualifications. Although these days it's the opposite and they use it against me and tell me, sorry you're over-qualified.

My independence. As a child I wished to be grown up and to be able to decide everything by myself. When I was finally old enough and could do it, I quickly realized that there was a lot of responsibility involved and then I didn't like it that much anymore.

@RobinPhoenix true. But i was never the kid who wanted to 'grow up'. I was happy being a kid.

@iamnikki I was a happy child for a long time too, but at some point the familiar world around me became too small for me and I wanted to get out, be free and independent and I couldn't wait to finally be grown up. If I had known then what I knew later, I would have enjoyed my childhood and especially my youth even more and not waited so impatiently of being grown up finally.

@RobinPhoenix well what do you do now that you're a grown-up? I've been watching self help videos for hours trying to make better having to change the crappy life I've unintentionally created
Out of the hospital. I mean it’s better but it didn’t really fix everything.
