in case you wondered
Amanda, you are far from ugly. What you are is stuck hating yourself because of your weight and you hate the way you look. Hate the way you feel. And life just is miserable for you right now. You are doing everything you can to get insurance that will cover you for WLS. I know it is not easy, I know it sucks. but you have a husband and kids to think about. Try to stay positive. I remember very well that self hatred.
Hang in there and DO NOT GIVE UP ON YOURSELF!!!! We are here for you.

Amanda, I agree with the others, you are not ugly!! Weight does this to people. My esteem use to be really high until just the past year when I was so determined to have this surgery and now I look at EVERY single skinnier person and wi**** was me. I started criticizing everything about my body and it really has gotten me down. BUT.. i know its going to change and I am trying not to get so down on myself.
Keep your head up high as it will happen. Just keeping trying!!
