    I am happy to see you did not allow poor self esteem to destroy your dream nor did you give in to eating disorders to conform. It shows great strength of character. Congratulations on a job most well done!

    Thank you!!

    One friend recently told me that I radiate with happiness, and I thought to myself, when did that happen? How did I learn to love myself? And honestly, I think its because I learned to love everything around me. I learned to accept exactly who I am, and have fun with it. Health must be taken very seriously, but looks should not because eventually no one has them.


    i really liked this part of your post. Thanks for sharing.

    My mantra is "I must learn to love my body because my daughter must learn to love hers" . . . . Your post reminds me that it's about so much more . . . . Thank-you. I'm truly touched.

    What a wonderful wonderful story, for some of us one of the hardest things in life is learning to love ourselves, But once you accomplished it, then you realise that absolutely anything is possible. You look a picture of happiness and beauty, Well done you :)

    You can do it. Start the compliment thing by forcing yourself to say nothing but 'Thank you' after you receive one. I used to always be like 'No, I'm not that great because.... (fill in the blank)' people do NOT want to hear all the reasons you think you are inadequate, especially if they think you are awesome. :) It will feel awful at first, but soon you will realize that by not belittling the compliment you actually take it in and it sticks with you.

    I'm so very impressed by what you've written. MFP has become a life-line to so many of us who felt like we're on this weight-loss road all by ourselves. It's true! You don't see this in your everyday life, surronded by people that are trying and succeeding to lose weight. THEN you find MFP and it's everywhere! People are REALLY doing this. Hey, maybe that means I can too.

    You're amazing! Your insight and revelation has not only helped you but the many that have read and will read your post.

    Thanks for sharing this with me today.

    Thank you! I am glad to have helped you along. By the way, your profile photo is so lovely, your smile seems so sincere, so it looks like you have already figured out the right attitude! You CAN do this too, no maybes.

    Your story is really inspiring - and not an easy one when you're an actor. The industry can be really cruel and it's hard to reach a point of self-acceptance and self-love. You look fantastic and congratulations on finding some success in NYC!

    If you don't mind, I'mma add you as a friend, because theatre folk should stick together. :)

    You are SO beautiful. I'm very VERY jealous! Congratulations, not only on your weight loss, but having a change of heart and learning how to love yourself. I haven't reached that point in my life, but that's okay! I know I'll get there eventually! <3, hugs and best wishes!

    Of course! It's always nice to have someone who understands the ridiculous life that is a show biz life. haha
