I used to be very overweight. Now I have lost 20-25 pounds. So, now I guess I am average. Random guys don't call me "fat" anymore, or make fun of me. Guys kinda flirt with me, but I still feel like that fat girl. So, I never think they are flirting with me, or that they might actually like me. I want to date, but how do I get over my phobia?

    Cherish That Fat Girl
    Hey, I know where you're coming from. I recently lost about 30 pounds, but I definitely still feel like "that fat girl" sometimes. It takes getting used to, but you just have to tell yourself that you are beautiful (with or without the weight)! It makes you realize that it's not necessarily about the size of your clothes that makes you who you are. It's all about your personality and life experience. Cherish "that fat girl" inside you and remember that beauty is only skin deep. Be comfortable in your own skin, whether you weigh 4000 pounds or 40! Congratulations on your weight loss! Live your life to the fullest, you deserve it! And don't worry about the guys, it'll all come in its own time.
