Courtney, Sometimes we have to listen to what other people are saying and how they are saying it to us. Go into a store and try on that size you finally got into and ask a salesperson or even a stranger how you look in what you're trying on. They don't know that "fat girl" so they have no choice but to be sincere and honest. Maybe we need to see ourselves through strangers' eyes first, since the people that care about us, for the most part, we always "suspect" as being kinder than they should be. It's hard to get out of our old heads and into our new bodies. I agree with the others who suggested talking to a therapist - you need to develop the tools to build your self-exteem now that you've worked and succeeded with the tool to get your healthy! You can do this, really - you've done part of the hard part already - it's just the next phase. {{{{{{{{to you}}}}}}}}} The "other" Cyndi (who desn't post as much)
