  • Quote: I hope I am not tempted to erase the "fat years" from memory, conversation, or the photos on the wall, because they're as much a part of me as thin will ever be.

    I don't want to hide my life. I want to celebrate it. If it means that I'm fat when I get married, I'm going to display a gorgeous picture of my fat self in a wedding dress with my husband. Why would I ever be ashamed of that?

    But to go onto what you were talking about: I understand what you mean. I'm going to be "formerly obese" or reduced obese... makes me think of reduced fat cheeses for some reason... But we've all got struggles. This is something I'll have to struggle with for the rest of my life. Might as well fight the good fight while being healthier & skinnier.
  • What a wonderful way to think of it blue!

    Paula.. I'm now really resisting the google bar that is now taunting me..lol

    Kaplods... a totally agree. If I put away my "fat pictures" I would no longer have my cherished family portriats, my wedding pictures, the pictures from my kids births and parties and all of the millions of holidays we have enjoyed together. I will never forget where I came from, it makes me who I am!

    Faerie... very beautifully put!
