Yah, I like your sense of humor: at least it is better than smoking crack! too true. hehe.
I’m glad you don’t completely hate your body. That is a definite step in the right direction! Keep up the good work and thanks for commenting and stopping by! :) kristin

last night i just took that advice, posed a bit to see shadows, dips, and curves. i may not love my body, but trying not to hate it. its such a weird cycle: when you hate your body, you punish yourself for being bad by binging. how weird is that? but at least i was stuffing my face rather than smoking crack, so i am thankful for it :)

thanks for the good blog, i will be sure to check this out again in the future.

Cassie

I know what you mean. I used to think no one would find me attractive, but all those bad things we tell ourselves are not true. People WILL find you attractive. Anyway, I know what you mean. Intimacy is still a hard thing with me too. Take care. Thanks for stopping by! :) kristin

Bless you, Thank you for blogging about this issue and also suggestions and hope that things can be different. I was in a hospital for a month and so many people seen all of me ,it wore away my modesty.I am just like they can look or look away. But I still have issues about intimacy,I question who will find my body attractive?,but eventually. Anyway, thank you.

Gary

That is why you need a Chunky Dunk in your area! I’m glad you are feeling better about yourself. It is definitely a process. Thanks for reading and thanks for your wonderful comment!

Thanks for some great writing that focuses on body issues that many Fat People and many skinny people have. Of course society gives Fat People even more of a reason to be inhibited about their bodies.

There was a time when I would not look at myself in the mirror, I would shave without looking past my face and I would bath with not really looking at what I was washing.

I have gotten better I will lounge around naked if I am home alone and I do not woory as much about how my shirt fits or shows my bulges.

Still there is a line that I will not cross, I will not be swimming in public in the foreseeable future.

William
