Re: Wanted to introduce myself

[Guest guest]

Boy I hear you dana - there is safety in being fat. Here are the

things I realized about this:

*When I'm fat and someone gives me a compliment about my work or

anything, I know it is because I'm smart not pretty.

*When I'm fat and some guy comes in to talk to me at work - I know it

is because either he needs my help or because I have a good

personality not because of my appearance AND not to make a move on me.

*When I'm fat - to a certain degree I feel freer to be myself - and

people won't hate me - they can always say - yes she is smart and fun

but see - she is human, she struggles with weight.

It is strange - especially when I read what I've written - I know

that when I was thinner folks made a big deal over me and some of my

talents and made me embarrassed and other people resented that. I

want to be liked be everyone - (something I've been working on) so

somehow being fat does feel safer.

Safe is nice - well-liked is nice but maybe it is time to be the real

me - and celebrate my talents and honor myself with the body I really

want. What makes you feel safe about feeling fat?

Sadly, I think I feel safer in an

overweight body. How do I get to a point that I feel safe in a fit

body? I know this may sound odd to some, but hopefully someone will

understand.

Try to figure out what feels safe about the weight. Work on why?
