Notes from the FatosphereViola
I'm a 43 year old mom of two daughters. I've been fat since I was a child, put on diet pills at 9, attended Weight Watchers meetings at 13, lost weight a few times in my teens and 20's before I realized that dieting just doesn't work. Now I try to live a healthy life, and I try not to use my weight as an excuse not to do things, even though sometimes I'm scared to death of being picked on and ridiculed as that fat girl, the way I often was as a child. Looking to fully accept myself as I am, but it's a hard road for me and I'm not sure I'll ever get there.
