One good thing about this lifelong struggle with obesity and weight loss

journey2zen

as I reflect on being 50 now and having struggled with obesity and weight loss for 35 of these years, I was trying to identify one good thing that came out of it.

here’s what I landed on: compassion for those who face the same struggle.

I would rather feel compassion for others in the same boat as me (to varying degrees) than be a person who’s judgmental about it and assumes the worst.

what we deal with is real.

on that note, I could use compassionate friends here because I don’t make enough use of the social aspect of this app, and I think that it would help me. And I want to return that support.
