I used to be fat. I tried to be happy. Had you asked me, I would have claimed to be happy. I have a great family, and all kinds of great things in my life.

I lost 120 pounds. There is no comparison. Ten years after the fact, I wonder if I'd even be alive today.

We have to make the best of our situation. For example, a woman with PCOS or other issue, certainly deserves compassion. And never ridicule. But being overly fat is such a waste of potential.
