    Wow. All I can say is congratulations. I understand what its like to have to fight off weight AND depression at the same time, and its so easy to fall into this realm of hopelessness where you don't think you'll ever become the person you so badly want to be.

    But you're doing it, and that is so, so amazing. I hope you can learn to love your body and yourself because with strength like that, you definitely deserve it!

    Girl, I am proud of you, on many levels.
    It is not easy to put yourself out there, for people to criticize, or laugh or whisper.... We all know that on some level.
    And we all have issues that have led us to choices about our present and our futures.

    I am sooooo glad you chose the future you and let the past you go!!!!
    It has to feel better now.....
    You have control over it all!!!

    Congratulations!!!

    You are a very beautiful person inside and out. Your life journey have been a rough one, but not without reward. It took a lot of courage to open yourself up like that and because of your experiences you've gained courage and strength. Keep up the great work that you're doing and thank you for sharing.

    The hardest part is behind you. You wanted to make changes and you have. You aren't the ones talking about it, you are the one "doing" it. Keep it up, it just takes time. If you live a long life, the short time you take to make these improvements will improve the quality of many years to come! Thanks for sharing!

    You guys! I wasn't expecting all of this. I posted this and went outside for a few minutes, came back and - BAM! Messages.
    Thank you. I thought maybe one or two. But not this much.
    Honestly, this means a lot to me.

    Oh my goodness, reading all that I felt like the vast majority of it, I wrote. In January after just turning 22 I was tipping the scales at 354lbs, I went through that mental anguish, and lord do I know how it feels to hate to pay someone to listen especially if you give others your shoulder for free.

    But oh honey you've come such a long way and you're gorgeous, don't fool yourself with otherwise. You're giving yourself a better life, you're getting into a better state of mind (and who cares if it's the meds, they only help you, not control you), and I believe one day you'll see just like I'm hoping I'll see that you're showing the world now the beauty that's on the inside can radiate to the outside.

    All the power in the world to you, hon. You're doing great!

    Your face- my goodness. Is so beautiful. Your skin is amazing. Such perfect complexion.

    What a difference from the sadness I see in the first picture. You look like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders- in your case not just physically but mentally too.

    Use your past as your strength for the future.

    I'm lost for words.

    Congratulations. May you lead a happy and healthy future.

    Much love.

    You have the most amazingly beautiful, expressive eyes! You have so much to be proud of! Healing really starts when you are able to let go of the past, the anger, the resentment and realize that YOU are worth EVERYTHING... you DESERVE happiness, greatness, peace, and love. It's amazing what happens to you inside and out when you finally get to that point. :-). It's not an easy road, but it's well worth the bumps and detours because the amazing person inside you finally gets to be free!

    YOU ARE AMAZING!
