    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!

    You look beautiful and I am so happy and proud for you!!!!

    Honestly, I never thought people posting here were seeking attention (always there are exceptions). But, to me, it's more like they are saying "Look at how hard I've worked to become what I wanted to be. If you work hard you will become what you want to be too, so don't give up!"
