Francesca – having a happy pancreas is a very very worthy goal and one I am working on as well.

Fantastic post. Thanks for sharing your epiphany. Your motives for taking the class and wanting to be healthier are admirable. And good for you for taking what you like and leaving the rest!

I have known the longing to shop in “normal” size stores; however, I have also known the thrill of having someone say, “Wow, I love that! Where did you get it?” and replying, “Lane Bryant. And it doesn’t come in your size! Ha ha!”

That outfit? Is gorgeous! No wonder you imagined yourself in it at any size…if I owned it I wouldn’t want to gain or lose an ounce, lest I not fit into it next time. In fact, I don’t own it and I still don’t want to gain or lose an ounce. I’m pretty happy with the curvy me (this is in part thanks to a few months of reading at kateharding.net – a site I think I found out about on this very blog!)

I am so happy to hear that, Francesca! What a great mental state to have!

Recently, I came across a picture of the younger Dowdydiva from eight years ago. I was 40 pounds lighter, but I looked 10 years older than I do now. My skin was not well taken care off, my hair was frizzy and unloved , and on my face was a pained, self-pitying expression. Since I’ve gained weight, strangely enough, I’ve become more comfortable with my own body (and attractiveness) and taken much better care of it.

No, losing weight is not the answer to everything.
