Those epiphanies have made a profound difference in the way I look at myself. <br />I know it's difficult. I've been there. It's important for you to know that your worth doesn't have anything to do with your size/weight. It's easy for someone to say-- it's sometimes very hard to apply it to ourselves.<br />I'm rooting you on as you get your elements in place, SLM. I'm so glad you're here and reading each day. Thank you very much.<br />Please read those two archived posts mentioned above.<br />My best!Sean Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973189725254566966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-52115556338841279522015-07-27T23:20:12.560-05:002015-07-27T23:20:12.560-05:00Sean, I've been lurking here for the past mont...Sean, I've been lurking here for the past month or so, and think it's time I spoke up too to tell you that your blogging matters. I'm so tired of the daily shame and self-consciousness and self-hate. It's so much a part of me that I hardly know what it's like to go through the day without it somewhere in my mind. I just got back from weeklong meetings and they showed a slideshow of everyone on the last night - ten minutes that felt more like an hour of pure misery to me as I felt so much less normal than everyone else. I know it's not rational, but it's hard to stop that thinking. <br /><br />I've lost weight before but regained - you know how that goes. And last year when I got into Zumba, did it religiously 4-5 times a week, worked out harder than I ever remember doing AND lost nothing, I was crushed! I almost lost all hope. BUT now I'm taking it one day at a time, trying again to hit all the elements of my plan. Reading your experiences and thoughts daily encourages me - much to my surprise! So I am thankful each morning to find a new blog entry from you. I get to read it when I'm done with my workout!SLM0406https://www.blogger.com/profile/11706659420984805198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-90703368254111182642015-07-26T22:31:25.298-05:002015-07-26T22:31:25.298-05:00Your face just looks likes one fit dude.

Truly. I had fun with the selfies--it started out as a "maybe they're right--maybe my face is too thin," and turned into, "nah--they're wrong--I'm fine, and I feel great." <br />You said it... "As long as YOU like you, then that's all that matters!" Exactly!<br />Hope your week is awesome, too, Rosie.

I always give everyone the benefit of the doubt--or at least I try, and I truly believe it is most often a compliment--just twisted a little-- and for me, it triggers a --oh my, are they right? Even though I know they're not.<br />"I see it in your face."

It's very important to me to not only share the here and now--but go back and accurately describe the emotional dynamics and reality of the "before." It's important for you to know that there is hope. There's truly hope, here. You're so welcome. And believe me when I write, this blog and what it does for me has been and continues to be a tremendous blessing in my life.

Please don't ever quit or think that your blogging doesn't matter. As someone who has struggled with food and weight issues for nearly 40 years, lost and regained probably over 200 pounds in that time, struggled with despair and shame so oppresdive i thought my spirit was shattered beyond repair, your writing inspires me, makes me feel less like alone and less Ike a failure who can't get it together and overcome these problems once and for all. Thank you for doing what you do and sharing it with your followers in cyberspace. You give hope, courage, light and some measure of peace to those of us lumbering and stumbling along the same path behind you. Thank you and God bless you for opening up yourself to us.<br /><br />.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-39237020860596368002015-07-26T02:48:04.611-05:002015-07-26T02:48:04.611-05:00Thank you again!
