Through some random wandering about the interwebs, I found Jessica Weiner. Where has she been all my life? I’m reading her book, ” Do I look Fat in This”, and it has really given me some great perspective. She encourages people to start living life now, not after you lose weight or get the perfect job. She also makes mention of the fact that being healthy is not tied to a specific size or body shape. Makes sense, but I never really thought about that in any meaningful way before.

For all the talking I do about being comfortable with who I am, and how I look, the truth is I’ve been waiting to lose weight for my life to take off. I always imagined I’d have the perfect __ when I lost weight. Ms. Weiner has definitely inspired living my life, truly, right now.

Unfortunately, I haven’t done much with this goal. I try to affirm my plus-sized body, but it’s really hard. I have a supportive family and great friends, yet I feel woefully unattractive because I’ve never had a boyfriend. It bothers me that I still define my self-worth in terms of my attractiveness to men. I’ve never had a boyfriend, and this fact only hightens my insecurity. Much, much works still needs to be done.
