8 mo's Out - with Pictures
Many years ago, I remember what a guy said as he walked by me in a crowd (just loud enough for me alone to hear him); "Look what you did to yourself!", he said, without turning his head or raising his voice, his tone wasn't mean or hateful, just matter of fact! (it affected me like the reactions I have had from Innocent toddlers, who's awe struck stare, was like that of witnessing the 8th wonder of the world passing by, hitting me internally, not like those times I have been insulted by being the object of ridicule, like mean rude comments and laughs from a gaggle of teenagers) That stuck with me, it was probably the most honest constructive criticism, I had gotten and from a complete stranger passing by in second of time! (unfortunately I remained powerless to change, over the years, in spite of this wisdom)
So, to you Lucy, I say; Look what you did to yourself"! Its most inspiring to us all and most wonderful for you and your family! Thanks for sharing, best to you.....

It is amazing the power others have over you when you are obese. The looks, the comments, the not making eye contact or acting like you aren't there/human over the years really builds up. Even that strangers not so hurtful comment when he doesn't know you or what's has happened in your life to contribute to your obesity...
The changes to peoples reactions are so wonderful and refreshing. My heart goes out to those who are super obese because it feels like the world is against you. Clothes don't fit or are UGLY, places don't fit (planes, chairs in offices, booths...), and people can just be so cruel. There is no other group in America that is allowed to be descriminated against like obese people are - it is so acceptable in society.
Sorry - my head just went there... Thanks for the complement. If I can be an inspiration to someone who suffers from the health issues and crappy societal issues that go with super obesity, it really will make me very happy!
