I am afraid to leave my home & will make any excuse to get out of having to go out, please help me?

I have recently gained a great deal of weight, I'm not exagerating, each time I leave the family home some one either puts their hands on my tummy assuming I'm pregnant or worse still they tell me to lose weight as I look hideous, So I don't want to leave my home as at home no one treats me any differently, they still love me for me so I feel safe, any advice would be great, please no nasty comments, I feel bad enough as it is....I have tried everything to lose the weight,

    If you can't lose weight, then there is something wrong and you should go to a doctor. It may be something like thyroid or something,and you can get on meds to fix it. If I were you, that would be my first move. Be sure to tell your family how much you appreciate them. Not every family would be so nice. My dad use to call me fat girl when I was pregnant. And he didn't say it to be funny, he said it out of disgust. You are very lucky to have loving ppl around you. Now, go to the doc!

    I can empathise with you in a way, i've often felt like I don't want to face the world but as a result of bad skin rather than weight.

    What I realised is that alot of it is in your head. You need to tell yourself that it doesn't matter what other people say, it's your opinion of yourself that matters.

    If you are that uncomfortable with your weight than maybe you should try losing some, but if you're comfortable with it and it's not a health risk then ignore these people.

    Learn to laugh it off, try not to take comments that people don't make seriously too seriously.

    I can't help you with losing weight, maybe you should see your doctor for advice?

    Who cares? Go outside, lose weight out there, and if someone says something mean, punch them in the face and run away. And with all the running away, i'm sure you'll lose weight in no time. b^_^ sorry i couldnt be of any help.
