thats actually true, because over the last few years i'd been pretty darn big (a combination of a weight problem and a big rugby build) i got a girlfriend alright, but it was when i went out to get fit and eventually slimmed right down what did my girlfriend go and do? she dumped me... why? because she didnt like the 'new' me. but the gf ive got now is much better and we experience so many things.

anyway back to you.... im almost 19 now but up until the age of 16 i was a recluse i very rarely went out and stayed in my bedroom alot of the time (due to my weight insecurities) but i suddenly decided to change when my summer holiday (after my big GCSE exams here in UK) occured and i was sick and tired of the fact that i'd lost touch with reality and knew nothing about my friends and the people i used to hang out with so i got out, went everywhere with my mates and i started going to the gym.

so if you're worried about the weight i know its hard not to worry but if you hang around with people more and more you'll realise that only the ignorant ones will care about what you look like.
