Comments on: Does Weight Matter? http://www.piercemyheart.com/2008/11/05/does-weight-matter/ Just another WordPress weblog Mon, 4 Jan 2010 13:59:42 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Suz http://www.piercemyheart.com/2008/11/05/does-weight-matter/comment-page-1/#comment-561 Suz Wed, 11 Feb 2009 19:10:44 +0000 http://www.piercemyheart.com/?p=1690#comment-561 I concur! I was often a little overweight in high school, and now the saga continues. I will say that, as others have said, love yourself! Love yourself for who and what you are and what God made you to be. If you love yourself, you are confident... and confidence is attractive. If you don't love yourself, because of your weight, do something about it. Work on it! Find a friend that can work with you on it. Guys do look at appearance, but dress confident and be confident and they will look past the weight and see you for you and the weight won't be an issue. I once read that a woman that is heavy and dresses nicely is more attractive than a woman who is fit who dresses like a slob... I believe it! Some guys prefer women who aren't skinny, so don't change who you are if you are happy with you! Smile :) That's an added appearance booster! I concur!

When you wrote this article i felt like you were speaking to me too, i have been barely heavy in high school, just 5-10 pounds overweight, and was soo insecure..NOW i am much older more confident and more heavy than back then. I need to lose a good 40-50...but i have to start loving and liking myself that's so true!! and spending time with myself is not funny at all Mitch it's the truth that i needed to hear, I need to spend time with the Lord and with myself..thanks for such a beautifully honestly written article. It means a lot that you cared to respond to this girl, and to the girl..if you are reading this...Don't worry about what any guy thinks, what matters most is what God thinks of us..and like Mitch said that verse in his article is true, it's Gods oppinion that counts most. And be happy with who you are! Don't let mean girls get to you! And stay strong and eat healthy and exercise, let your body be a Holy Temple of God. when i say eat healthy i don't mean south beach diets, or atkins, or any kind of diet..I mean lifestyle change. For me that has been weight watcher lifestyle..i still eat healthy and can have some treats and sweet stuff but with moderation. Just be strong and love yourself!! Just remember God has a prince out there for you, HE will come only at the right time, AT The TIME that God has appointed, he can not come sooner or earlier..be patient..be very patient! Because God loves you soo much =)) love you dear sister! And thanks sooo much Mitch for this article, this has uplifted my spirits a bunch and now i understand guys better! thanks! well blessings to all who read this! To God be all glory! In Him, Jane.

I am glad that a guy said those things because maybe girls will believe it. Everything you said is true. Whenever a person is confident in themselves, and likes themself, it radiates to those around them. It draws people to them! I have battled with my weight for years. When I am confident in myself, people actually like being around me. However, if I feel bad about my looks or weight and I lose my self confidence, then other people don't enjoy my company. No one likes to be around a gloomy person, so your advice is right on target! I wrote about "Being Yourself", in the first issue of Pierce My Heart. We have to love who we are. God made us all unique and special. So we should love His creation, and be confident in who we are and in Who's we are! Thanks for such a well written article!! Keep up the great advice!
