Hey Chey,
Lots of folks have said some pretty important stuff in these responces. I don't know if this will really be anything new; here goes anyway.
I used to think the thinner I was, the more perfect I was. In fact, I spent almost every moment on it. I didn't have time for other things. More was never enough. Until I was hospitalized. That was the begining. That was about 18 years ago. Today, in my low moments, I still have times when I'm not happy with how I look. You see, my body's not air brushed, so I still have all my stretch marks. I've also got lumps and bumps, especially on my thighs. I'm a size 8-9 ( sometimes a 7, depending on how its cut.) These numbers are a point of pride for me 'cause I have wide hips and broad shoulders, so I'm not skinny. I'm solid, which basically means I've got to remind myself I've got curves. Now I go for long walks, do yoga and eat whatever I want, when I want. Now my moments are mine.
I hope this helps.
Peace,
firefly
