Just saying hi — I’ve come across your blog several times now because I am looking for people who are going through a similar thing as myself. I know this isn’t a recent post, but hopefully you’re still around. I would love some support in my own saga of compulsive eating and other life crap that happens along the way.
My blog is at

Thank you for your wonderful reply! This is why I love the internet: people like us, who have so much in common, but who are quite unique in our situations can find each other! Right on! thanks for sharing. I so appreciate it. Congrats on the wedding too and congrats on getting rid of the mean guy and finding a good one!!!! :)

I found your blog when a person posted it on one of my yahoo groups.
I can honestly say that I have dealt with very much the same issues you have.
I have been battling my weight since I was a child and my mother put me on my first diet when I was 11 years old. When I was in my twenties, I developed anorexia and bulimia, and I was also diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. Because of my meds, it is really hard to lose or maintain weight, so I am a virtual roller coaster.
My family (esp the women) are obsessed with weight and looks. I was considered “the fat one” in my family, and my mother was never able to tell me I was pretty.
She is much better now, and she even calls me beautiful, even though I probably weigh more now than I ever have. My family even told me I wouldn’t ever land a husband, what with being disabled and overweight…..and good news! Im getting married next month! I am marrying the most wonderful man I have ever met
I used to be with a guy who told me how ugly and fat I was. I was so much in love with him, but he hurt me all the time. I said goodby to him and said hello to a guy who loves every voluptuous inch of me!
I started to learn to love my body when I discovered “Mode” magazine. Im so sorry that it isn’t in publication anymore. I have since discovered “Skorch” online and I love it!~ I know i can be beautiful, whether Im a size 8 or a size 18
I don’t listen to people anymore if they call me fat. I just ignore them because they don’t know me at all.
Thank you for your insight. I don’t mind being naked at all. I used to hate it, but now it doesn’t bother me.
Hugs, Jennie
