I really relate to everything Celeste said. Once you learn to accept yourself the way you are, it changes everything. I've been at a stable weight for nearly a year now. It's a couple pounds higher than my original goal weight but I am HAPPY...I like my body and I enjoy my life and I don't obsess about my weight anymore. It's so freeing to find that sense of peace in yourself. That’s just beautiful. I really relate to everything Celeste said. Once you learn to accept yourself the way you are, it changes everything.

Wouldn’t I WANT to be 147?" Can we say EPIPHANY?????? I weight 175.4 right now. My heaviest weight is 190. If I was back to 190, I would wish I still weighed 175.4. I am going to appreciate my body the way it is now, and continue on my journey of stopping the obsession with weight and food. Thank you, Celeste, and thank you Roni for posting this!

Thank you. Thank you. After gaining about 25lbs recently after a hard break up...every single day EVERY SINGLE DAY I think of how fat and disapointed I am. I look at my body every single day and lust...with deep passion, after how thin I used to be. Every single day I battle an internal binge monster who says that I can 'start tomorrow' and then I cave in because it's easier then dealing with the emotional crap that's tangled around food and my body image. Thank you for allowing me the freedom to let go of the crap that i entrench myself with. Crying tears of peace..thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
