Almost one year out! Long, with LOTS of pictures!
Oh Jessy, I am so sorry for all the hardship you've had to overcome in your young life. It made me so sad to read about how your doctors treated you. So sad. :(
But you know what? I think you are an exceptionally strong young lady for all of the trials you've had to go through. And maybe it was worth it?
You're an inspiration! Stay awesome!

Your post gave me goosebumps. Every hair on my body stood up when I read that you were planning to take your own life rather than have obesity do it for you. I am SO GLAD you didn't.
Your story needs to be shared. I'm so stinkin' proud of you - you, at 16, had more strength of will and character than I've seen in many adults. People could take a lesson from your attitude, tenacity, and outlook. Keep doing what you're doing, Jess. You rock. You. Rock. Hard.

Honey, that has to be the most beautiful one year post I have ever read! I am so happy for you! You are an amazing, and brave young woman! You are just beautiful, inside and out! I could not be more happy for you! Thank you for being such a ray of sunshine on this board! I think OH magazine should profile your story!
