PHOTO-ESSAY

This young woman is so brave.

She unflinchingly photographed herself when she was large and then through the years of loneliness and self-doubt, until she was down to the size she is now.

I was touched by her honesty.

I'm sitting at my desk at work, hoping nobody catches me sniffling and stifling sobs. That pain is so real.

It did bring back the feelings I often used to have. She has captured it very well.

This was a great idea of hers. I've taken the typical before shots standing up from all sides but she's really captured the emotions here.
