I am so sorry that no one has responded to you yet.

One thing that we all have to remember is that we are not our bodies. We are defined by our souls. That is what is lovable about us. You are lovable. You have been created by the most High God. You are wrong to think that because you are not happy with parts of your body that you are worthless.

If you can't believe that then that is a sign that you need to find some help for your depression and death thoughts.

Sometimes we make choices that lead to a body that we are not happy with, so we make different choices. Learn to take care of your skin and hair and work with what you are given.

Some of us frankly did not win the genetic lottery, but you are not your skin, or your hair, or your fat rolls. You could have been born with a painful disease, or a mental disability or you could have to live with disfigured skin from a fire.

Being fat is not fun, but we can do something about it. We have to keep perspective. Life is to short to hate yourself.
