DEAR JAZZY

I’m fat. I know that. I don’t need to be told all the time. My boyfriend broke up. I know its because I’m fat. He has a skinny girl now. He always criticized me everytime I ate anything. He got what he wanted. Now he is off to “conquer” someone else. Why are guys like that? They only want one thing. He might be back – when he wants something. I know I have to lose weight but I can’t. I tried. I really do. I can’t afford healthy food. I go to Whole Foods and it just depresses me more. When I’m feeling down I eat a lot . I don’t think I eat too much. I walk every day. I don’t know what to do. I’m so stressed out. Maybe Im depressed. I hate going out of the house. I hate staying in the house too. What can I do?

Louisa

Dear Louisa,

Story continues below advertisement

You are an intelligent, beautiful woman. Louisa, you have low self-esteem, and you feel self-pity, but you are not alone.
I would like you to look in the mirror and tell
yourself that you are good-looking, bright and a kind person.
Louisa, you should be confident and love yourself because you are a precious woman.
Do not allow anyone to play with your feelings. If he loves you, he should accept the way you are because love is unconditional and it does not have boundaries.
First, you must take care of yourself; respect
your talents and abilities. If you do not take care of you, you always will be in bad relationships.
Louisa, give time to your heart to heal. You feel guilty for being fat, and you think your boyfriend abandoned you for this reason. It does not mean that you have lost everything in your life. Everyone learns from bad experiences. They help us mature. He doesn’t deserve you. He always criticized you for being overweight.
If your weight is really a problem for you to accept, then you should talk to your doctor about a plan that helps you lose weight.
You may suffer from depression. This may be serious. You should consider talking to your doctor about this as well because you can be happy with just yourself and not worry about what other people think of how you look.

Sincerly,
Jazzy
