It'll randomly pop up like, hey you remember when you really wanted to do that ride and you had to exit a full roller coaster cause you were too big and went and cried in the gift shop by the cowboy hats? High School was wild.
I once got stuck in an inner tube thing at the bottom of a waterslide and a lifeguard had to help hoist my fatass out. It took several tries and little kids were staring. I was like 32 years old though. I was buzzed off several frozen daquiris so it helped numb the sting.

Before high school, I finally got the nerve to ask a girl for a date, for the first time. Her response was, “Oh I would but you’re too short and kinda fat. Thanks though”.... that *kitten* has stuck with me to this day. I still believe her words to be true.7

Similar experience - a guy I had a crush on for years told my girlfriend he " wouldn't touch my fat *kitten* with a 10 foot pole." Well, that was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. Lost 50 lbs in 6 months, spiraled into an eating disorder and nearly lost my life.
Silver lining - ran into said guy a few years later at bar and he couldn't put a name to my face - I looked like a completely different person. Long story short - bought him a drink and he apologized for the hurt he had caused without me even saying a word about it. Proceeded to tell me what a "beautiful girl" I was...yadda yadda.
*Huggies*
ETA - much like you I still see an overweight person when I look in the mirror
I’m sorry 😞1 -
Has anyone said mfp? 😬4

The doctors kept giving us false hope because her organs were functioning and her bp was stable. The nurses painted a completely different story and told me to gather the family together and make a decision regarding life support. I had to be the one to ask her what she wanted - she told me she wanted to live. I faught hard for her! Deciding to send her to the best hospital the state had to offer....only to come to the conclusion that we had to let her go, and it wasn't peaceful. 💔
The guilt of putting her through those last few days still haunts me to this day. I only wanted to save her.
Hugs to you Mama 🤗💞...
I too had to give the order to administer "Comfort care" when I lost mine... She told me that if she needed to be intubated one more time, to just let her go...
I honestly wasn't ready to do it when the time came, my baby boy was just 3 months old and what he was losing hurt much more than what I stood to lose...
My father however came to me and said, Jesse you know what she said, and I think she said it for a reason...
It was a man to man moment I will never forget, he too had to give the directive for his father, and my mother always told me that she didn't want him to have to do that again and it would be my responsibility when the time came for her...
It was hard because she looked scared albeit not really coherent when the time came but I did what life demanded of me...
No attachments to the situation, I know I did the right thing... And you did too 💞
In hindsight I was very fortunate and lucky, because she wasn't expected to survive her accident when I was 14, but held on for another 15yrs... No feeling sorry for myself, I'm incredibly blessed and thankful for what I've been given...5 -
Some of the posts here are tugging my heart today. Hugs to all for the hurts that have hurt you. No matter how hard individual challenges have been, they've worked together to create the person you are today. You(many of you here!) should be proud of how strong, kind, courageous, and compassionate you are.

I love Trader Joes ultra chocolate ice cream. Truth is I've always been crazy about chocolate in almost any form (chocolate bars, chocolate cake, etc..). But I was eating a cup/day until a month or so ago, when I cut back to reduce my weight. I only had a tsp/day of it for the last 5 weeks, and with my other food reductions, and exercise regimen I'm closing in on my target weight of 175 lbs. for my 5' ll' foot frame.3

Sadly I have way too many things I can't let go of...some good, some not good. One is cards. I have kept every single card I've ever been given my entire life. My dad will send a birthday card and a Christmas card each year. I don't see him often; last time I saw him was a year and a half ago. Anyway he writes cards that make me cry every time I read them. However, they almost always say the same thing...I love you with all of my heart and I am so proud of you.... Regardless no card from anyone has ever made it into the trash. Never...3

My family's negative views about my weight since I was a child. These words have engrained themselves into me and I let them still hurt my self-esteem decades later.
- My dad worked out of the country for many months at a time. One year when I was in high school, he came back and the first thing the said was "God, you got fat".
- My mom was big when she was young and I blamed many fat-assery on my genetics once, bringing up that she was overweight as a teen. Her response? "I was never as fat as you are".
- My paternal grandpa making comments about my weight at the dinner table in front of guests, and when I cried he said "you should be ashamed of yourself."

You flatter me
Which means I won’t remember your comments at all in a week’s time. Insult me though, those I keep forever 😜

Back in 2015... my friend and I were making our way into Marshall’s, and coming out was this lady who randomly asked us
“are you two sisters” we just said no and continued walking.
Till this day we regret not asking WHY?0
