Same here. I was lying and acting to my husband and friends for years.

==================================

My 2 cents is that unless we love the body we had, we will always live in

fear of regaining as well as have loathing for others who are obese. We need to

see skin as skin, fat as fat, just more or less. My daughter, my husband and

I never thought of ourselves as being loathsome. We definitely like it

better now, but we were not pretending then. My self esteem problems were

always

my personality. When I was in my early twenties the docs loaded me down with

amphetamines and I was a size nine. I had more dates but not better quality

dates. In fact when my daughter was 16 I asked her to finish the sentence " If

I were thin. " She said " I wouldn't have an excuse for not having a

boyfriend. " I hope this makes sense.
