When the topic of weight comes up, people tell me that "you look fine".... I guess it's because they want to help, but it doesn't help. It almost implies that I am losing weight for them, or for their approval. I have to be happy with myself. I'm the person who has to live with my body and be happy with what I see in the mirror...
Ive lived my life hoping it will all work itself out. I'm a hopeless romantic finding that I fell in love with all the wrong things..designer handbags, handsome football players, makeup and most of all doughnuts. Gained a few pounds, lost them, gained them again, and lost them again... BUT I've finally figured it out and I want to share my journey and stories...

Body image issues?
Today was moderately interesting... I have another conversation with an acquaintance of mine (not sure if were "friends") about my body shape. The way my body looks is something that I have to accept, but I realize I have to deal with it everyday. I have to accept that the vision that others have of me is not necessarily the reality and how I see MYSELF is what is important.
