    and dammit, I'm allowed to be dramatic if I want to be. I saw the first 4, which I expected. But squinting through one barely opened eye, it looked like it had an identical twin next to it. The only way I could be sure would be to open the other eye so that my vision normalized. So I did. 449. Yes, it said 449.

    At this point I was crying... Way to go Scott... It may not mean much... But I'M PROUD OF YOU!

    Hugs

    Thank you so much for posting this. I know you feel like you have dark corners, but after reading your post I can't help but see that you are full of light and promise. Thank you for speaking out and reminding everyone that you are a living, breathing person - not just a fat guy that people can make fun of. We are way too quick to judge and dehumanize fat people. Congratulations and good luck!

    Congrats, and I sincerly hope that you have a job with the word "writer" in the title. I could have written what you said in a few sentences, and it would have been boring, and no one would have read it all the way through. You have quite the talent.

    Youre amazing. And completely right that this is a victory. You arent taking the easy way out or just giving up. I dont think Ive ever actually told and internet stranger that I was proud of them, but I am proud of you. You have great determination and a pretty funny sense of humor. Keep up the good work!!!!!!
