I've come a long way
16 months ago
In the past year, I’ve come a long way on this. My body has changed, but I have.
Some thoughts:
- My body is not open for comment or judgment from others. I’m not obligated to look a certain way.
- It’s nearly impossible to make a permanent change to one’s body. Nearly everyone who loses a significant amount of weight gains it back within three years. It’s next to impossible for people who are naturally slim to maintain weight gain, even if they eat huge amounts of food. So if this is the body I’m going to have, why put energy into trying to change it?

My Dad was born in England. That makes me (born in the US) a British subject by birth. So I have dual citizenship, and I always choose the shorter line when crossing borders!
