happyhealthyadpi: Anytime I need a pick-me-up I look at old pictures. First, I’m mad/disgusted for ever allowing myself to get that way. But then, I’m just thankful for being able to overcome it. I’m so glad to be able to say that the weight didn’t stop me from being myself, but I know that so many obese people are not their complete selves in that state. I wish that every obese person had the support system, friends, family, and sisters that I have. It is those people who have been a large part of me succeeding in this journey. Having certain people in your life can make you or break you. I am just so thankful for friends who overlooked the weight and loved me for me. I know it seems silly for me to be thankful for such a thing, but you just don’t understand until you’re in a 300 pound girl’s shoes. You look at life a completely different way and your everyday actions are effected by your weight. People make a difference, whether the relationship is big or small. I wish there was something I could do about the way that society treats obese people, but I at least know that I can be the support system to them that all of you have been to me over the years. Okay, end of rant. Thank you, you know who you are. -- source link
