Help with my self-esteem?

Question

Alright, i just started college and today was the official 1st day. well not so good. I moved away from home and i guess i got some problems? I guess i have some self-esteem problems or something. maybe im just messed up in the head... but heres my problem... ok so im a bit large and fat. which isnt all that bad. but i sweat like a damn pig, like dripping sweat everywhere and my hairs always wet, i cant have any fun with people because i always think their gonna make fun of me and such. people always give me weird looks. i guess im anti-social because of this or something. and i don't got many friends where i am now and my roommate isn't that great of a friend. so i guess marijuana works for me to chill out and be calm, but its expensive and illegal. so i cant always chose that option. What do i do? the doc's say the sweating is basicly untreatable??? so im fuked the rest of my life? god, im so afraid to talk to girls n such. im 18 and about 300#s makes me sick. Help? someone to talk2?

Im trying to exercise. But its hard for me. Like not like most people, im not lazy but not enough encouragement i guess, no one here is pushing me except for my self. and i fail my self over and over again.

I was in the same shape at 18, and I know the sweats and the awkwardness. I yo yo'd down 20 up 20lbs. The only advise I'd give is try to keep as much junk food out of your room, as you can. As far as self esteem it was really hard to meet new people when your thinking that they don't like you because of your size. That is your motivation, to change that image of yourself, and be more normal sized. You control what you eat, and you don't have to do anything but start walking when ever you can. This is very effective and something you can build up to over time. I found that I could control my appetite with an apple or some other fruit or vegetable just long enough to get out and take a short walk. If you are having a real bad time most schools have councelors and they may be able to get you help with the mental aspect and there are probably dietitions that you can work with. You are paying good money there, use whats available to you.There is no magic answer to this, You are the one that will do the work because you want have more energy, and do better in class, and you will see this person slowly but surely change and so will everyone else. I know how hard this is, your going to be fighting two battles here, your weight and self esteem. Contact me if you want , I have fought this same battle and I lost as well as won them. Just think of how much better you will feel when you can control your own life, and fit in with the rest of the students. That is the point isnt it?
