Writing is so therapeutic. It is not a once event either - this sometimes need to remind myself of.
We sometimes need to work through our feelings again and again. It is amazing the new things that we discover in the process including the will go on and to live.

First, hi, thanks for your comments on MissMeliss.com, and CafeWriting. We’re thrilled that you’ve found us.

(It’s late, so I’m allowed to use the royal we.)

I just read your profile. I’ve been severely overweight most of my life, and I only finally decided to take responsibility for it in July. (We’re roughly the same height, and you’re four inches taller than me).

I’ve lost 25 pounds so far.

I have about 125 more to lose.

And even then I’m not gonna be skinny, but I’ll be healthy and curvaceous, and I’m okay with that.

I just wanted to throw some support your way, because I KNOW how hard it can be, and I think it’s harder when you’re overweight AND petite, because there are days when NOTHING looks good.

You can do this. You just have to say, “Okay, I had a week of indulgence, break’s over.” And go on, don’t dwell. You can’t take back the pizza, you know?

Anyway, sorry to babble, and feel free to delete this, you just…moved me.
