Jamie-You said just what I was thinking. I’d love to create a new “groovy” 2010 version of me that combines the best of both the young me and current me. And I am also pissed at my ’92 self because she took so much for granted. Poor, stupid girl.

You go publish your post and I’ll be your cheerleader.

LBC-You’re too sweet. I know I’ll never be skinny. At this point I’d just be happy working on a healthier lifestyle. I’m surprisingly healthy for someone my size, but I know my good luck won’t last forever.

Heather,
I am literally in tears right now. Thanks for your honestly and thanks being brave enough to kick the elephant straight in the gonads and get on with it. I have a draft saved very similar to this post and haven’t had the strength to hit publish. Maybe it’s time?!

My 92 would not recognize my 09 and my 09 is pissed at the 92! I am amidst trying to merge these two selves into a groovie 10 version. A version that laughs mores, enjoys more, yells less and feels at peace. Will it work?? I have no idea. I wish you much luck and look forward to hearing more about your journey. Us MI girls gotta stick together!

You are beautiful – inside and out.
Personally, I don’t care if you are skinny or fat, it’s the kind of person you are. I like you for you.

We come because of how you write, not what you write about. If this post is any indication you won’t be scaring us off writing about “fat”. Heck, it might even be useful to the rest of us!

Amelia, thank you so much for those kind words. I hope you’re right in that talking about it will help me take it off and keep it off. I’m really looking forward to exploring this part of my life even though it might be painful to do.

1. You’re beautiful. 1992 you and 2009 you.

2. If we don’t talk about it, it will never change. In addition to diet an exercise, it is one of the things I see that unites the people I know that take it off and keep it off.

3. One fat girl to another, let me know if you need anything. I think you can do it, and we’ll all learn something about ourselves in the process.
