Me 8 Months Later (God Awfully Long)

Its such a horrible cycle, isn't it? I'm so glad you feel beautiful today. You deserve it. I try so so hard not to project these issues (MY issues) on my daughter, who is 12 and already overweight.

Thank you so much for sharing.  So many of us do have similar stories.  Bullying, parents who couldn't understand, abuse.  So much so that when I see morbidly obese, I see pain.  I know it's not true for all morbidly obese people but I think it is for most. 

I am so proud to see you say that you are a good person.  It was so difficult for me to acknowledge that about myself.  But I think it was one of the most important steps in my recovery. 

Cheers to you LadyT. 

You are a true survivor...!

You are an inspiration to us all. We are all human beings and last time I checked that meant we are not perfect and sometimes I think unless you have that "perfect image" like the ones we see on tv, (you know the size 3 movie stars and 12 year old models who walk the runways) society thinks you are stupid, or have no will power or even standards. They think you are lazy and dirty and after a while can make you feel that way about yourself. 

You stood up for yourself and said Hell No and did something about it all the while those who you needed support from tried to knock you back down.. GOOD FOR YOU!!

I wish when we looked at people all we could see would be the heart and soul.. Then maybe we could really see true beauty..
