I know many people from Africa and the Caribbean. They have told me that they embrace more curvaceous figures because they have experienced times of great famine which resulted in starvation and death. Fuller figures look healthier when compared to that experience.
Try not to let your weight dictate the way that you feel about yourself. I have a friend who lost 65 pounds. She said that she lost the weight when she was ready not when other people were ready. She joined Weight Watchers and began to work out regularly. She slowly and permanently lost the weight. She still watches what she eats and continues to exercise. Her weight loss was the result of lifestyle changes including accepting her body and herself.
