[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid’s school had an art night tonight. The other moms there are so skinny and pretty. Many of them look like they just stepped out of a magazine. They all also seem to have good friends at the school. I just feel awkward at these events, and like an outsider. I’m too fat, my outfits are wrong, and I don’t have any close friends at the school. I try, but somehow I can’t seem to make much progress in any of these areas. I show up to support my kid, but I usually can’t wait to leave.[/quote] That's fine. Everyone but extroverts, feel uncomfortable at such events. You aren't there for yourself, you are there for your child. Focus on that. Give your undivided support to make sure he/she is happy and unstressed. As far as your wish to be more fit, fancy and friend magnet, just take little steps to make gradual changes. Not to look or act like them but to find your own happy balance. [/quote]
