I believe the only way to lose weight is by diet and exercise. I was watching tv one day and they said taking diet pills kills your metabolism and drains you of all your energy. Well anyways it doesn't matter what other people think of your body what matters is what you think of it. If your wanting to change your body more power to you

You said people say you look gorgeous isn't that enough to show you from the eyes of others that you are a beautiful person just the way you are no matter how much you weigh. So i hope whatever decision you make will be a good one

Yes, it is about how you feel. I have become a rather snug size 16. I feel so dog gone unhealthy too.

I also agree a diet and excersise is the only key to permanent weight control. It is a "lifestyle change" as we constantly hear. That is why it is so difficult to adhere to.

Good luck to you.

I think you should lose about 150-200 pounds, whatever your jerk boyfriend weighs, as soon as possible. (sorry I don't know the kg's amount) In case I'm not being clear, let me rephrase, kick him to the curb!

Let me be even clearer. Cuddly, I don't think anyone here can tell from your description whether you are at a healthy weight for your age, build, etc. or not. If you aren't sure, it sounds like you need to get a good doctor's opinion (and I DON'T mean a "fat doctor" who makes his money by selling weight-loss products or writing prescriptions for diet pills, etc. -- they would probably tell Twiggy she was fat).

REGARDLESS whether you are or aren't fat, what on earth motivates you to hang on to a guy who is either mean or insensitive enough to call you "chubby" and "fatty" and "give you hell" about something that is not even for him to decide? Are you a doormat or what?

Sounds to me like that is a bigger problem for you to resolve than your weight.

I want to apologize for asking if you are a doormat. In fact I guess my whole answer could sound rude and mean and I'm sorry, it just disturbed me to think you would let someone call you names and give you a hard time about your appearance. I think that's never called for.
Hope you will let us know whether our comments helped and how you are doing.
