How can I gain enough confidence to get out and lose weight?

Answer by  myanna (104)

Start by considering the things that you do before you start to feel the worst. If watching television makes you feel bad, stop. If some people make you feel bad, avoid them. Keep positive people around, and write down three good things about yourself each day.
