    You haven't met me; yet you describe me perfectly, especially the eating emotion.

    You are strong because you expressed your feelings. You are doing great!

    Girl if I had a 1$ for every emotion I ate :) i would be the chubbiest millionaire on the planet!

    You are beautiful! And you will find her! I think I could have written what you just wrote, word for word almost. If you need anything, or just want to add a friend who is in a similar situation :)

    This just made me cry a little. It is all SO true about me too......

    It has been a very emotional process for me.

    Your progress is amazing though!!!! You have done a wonderful job :wink:

    Girl you are beautiful! Don't let anyone make you think you're not!!! It sounds like you're on the right path to getting to where you are comfortable with who you are. Keep it up!

    PS. I love that letter to you. I may write one when I get home.

    Dear You:

    You are in control.
    You can achieve the impossible.
    You are fierce
    You will not be defeated
    You can choose your happiness, and own it, regardless of the circumstances that have held you back in the past.
    You are not alone
    You are on the brink of success
    You can do this.

    Dear You,

    You are beautiful.
    You realize your downfalls.
    You want to make the effort to change.
    Only you can change you.
    You don't need people in your life who bring you down.
    Dry your tears.
    Let your inner self shine through.
    You ARE still you, let it show.

    You know what you need to do.
    You will accomplish your goals.
    Do what makes you happy and what makes you feel good.
    Go for it girl, you can do it.

    Love,

    Me :smile:

    I guess I'll chime in:

    YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL inside and out.
    Don't you ever let anyone change you.

    Your weight does not define who you are.

    Don't look too far ahead, only enough to look at yourself today and to be proud of the decisions you have made.
    Don't look too far back, only enough to see how far you have come.
    Take each morning as a gift of endless opportunities, and rest each night after a job well done.
    Continue to have courage and look for support when you feel weak.
    Know that so many of us have been through similar trials, and will stand beside you.
    And finally, stand beside those who have their own difficulties to face, it will only help to make you stronger as well.
    Happy day to you!

    Lovely words, and can so relate to quite a lot of it, though admittedly, it has been only on very rare occasions I have felt beautiful or of value. With such a positive attitude, you will get where you want to be in no time at all, way to go.
