What lessons did it teach you?

Options
Hi there,

I have to say that being overweight taught me some lessons.

It allowed me to concentrate on being myself instead of focusing on what I look like.

It prevented unwanted advances and kept me honest as well.

I was able to make more friends with women because they didn't see me as a threat.

It taught me compassion for others who are overweight.

The extra weight served me in personal growth. I can happily say I learned my lessons and I am ready to let go of the extra weight.

What lessons did it teach you that you are thankful for?

    It taught me to take up space. Only now I take it up with personality and assertiveness.

    It taught me it really is the inside that counts.

    It taught me that my health is more important than anything, because I didn't have it.

    Taught me to not judge others bad habits.
