    Really words fail me. It’s a terrific video. And I’ve been involved in weight loss a long time. Can’t recall seeing anything quite like this. Congratulations.

    Brill! Love what you have said! I remember a time at my work’s gym - years ago now, where a perv couldn’t stop looking at my boobs, which always have been horribly ginormous..... never went back and this has stayed with me ever since! Gonna let this go now.

    Amazing work... I do have people in my life that tell me I worry to much about my body. Why lose weight? at 450+ I'm thinking like, well living more then 10 years would be nice? But yeah, I think there is a very safe place you can be and be fairly over weight, and sure have all the body positivness you want... There is also a point for many of us, where I do agree the only person you fooling is yourself. For me and I suppose many, we aren't even fooling ourselves. We accept we gave up, and we just exist and get our sole nourishment and love as a cupcake you mentioned from the food we gorge upon while we push the inner voice that knows better to the farthest reaches of our subconscious.

    Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration and the emotional moment you shared with us.
