When I was in high school, I was smaller than I am now. I was 120 lbs. I would tell you how much I weigh now, but the number on that scale doesn't define my self worth. I was told that I was too thick to have a boyfriend, to wear dresses or skirts, to get married, have a family. I was told that I was too heavy to be a dancer (yeah, I wanted to be a stripper) or an actress (I actually won an acting scholarship to one of the top ten universities in the country) I was afraid to leave my home for a long time, honestly. I was nervous about going out with friends, especially to lunch or dinner. There was a point in time when I was 100% convinced that I would never be successful because of my weight. Now, I've got people worshipping my rolls like the Goddess I am! It took me about 28 years to really learn to love the skin I'm in, so even though there's a part of you that you hate, remember that someone else adores it and wants more of it! Have a wonderful Sunday evening and remember to tip your virtual stripper. (That's me. I am your virtual stripper, by the way)
