>I sometimes feel like putting fat on my body is a comfort, it's a way of shielding who I truly am from people, of hiding, of not being attractive to people who will hurt me. If people can't get close physically, or if they can't see the true me, then they can't hurt me.
<<<<Your words make total sense to me. I've been struggling with sexual harrassment at work and my self esteem is through the floor. Along with that, I feel like the person I've been seeing is after only one thing. I don't consider myself attractive but I tend to attract people that are interested only in my appearance. They never get to know who am I inside. Maybe I am subconsciouly sabotaging myself. Although now I'm having trouble fitting into my clothes so this may bring on additional depression. Why me?
