I think it's a mistake to assume that guys don't like you because of your appearance. I mean, a quick look at your friends will generally tell you that you're wrong -- the amount of guys interested in someone rarely has much to do with their looks. One of the prettiest girls I know has NEVER had a boyfriend, because she's always been too busy with other things (namely ballet, which she wants to do professionally), because she's really shy, and because she lacks the confidence to approach guys or flirt with them. I know some beautiful girls who have only had one or two boyfriends, and I know some butt-ugly girls who are never without them.
Some of the girls I know who have had the most boyfriends have been overweight, but what they also had was enough confidence to go flirt and approach boys and put their feelings on the line when they had to. That is usually the problem -- not that the 20 extra pounds you're carrying.
Unfortunately, I know that it's usually HARDER to change your self-confidence level than your weight, so it's not really a reassuring thing to hear that. But it's a much more worthwhile thing to change your confidence than your appearance, too.
