Today, while procrastinating studying for my midterm worth 30% of my grade I came across a fellow blogger. I was intrigued by here determination and her powerful voice supporting self acceptance, no matter what size you are. Some of the self-portraits she has taken of herself are stunning. It motivated me to write today because i too strive for self acceptance, even though it seems pretty difficult to come across.
I envy Lisa for putting herself out there and taking beautiful and tasteful pictures of her imperfect body. I wish had the courage to do that myself. Maybe it will come with time and as I begin to move out of my teenage thought patterns I will begin to understand that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.
Lisa, thank you for your blog as I can see it is an inspiration to hundereds of women. And good luck with your public speaking, I'm sure you'll do great!
Sincerely,
Your Fat Friend.
Ps. Here is the link to Lisa's Blog, take a look and tell me what you think?

Dearest Courtney... I just read your blog post and I cried. You can't possibly imagine how much you have helped me. It's been a rough couple of days and your comment and blog entry is just what I needed. Self acceptance is difficult at any age. This blog of mine has been helpful for the most part but I have experienced a few heartaches along the way. I am grateful for your words of encouragement...
ReplyDeleteI identify with the title of your blog. I have always been the fat friend in my teenage group. My largest childhood friend is a size 6 LOL
I too am procrastinating... I have a paper due tomorrow about the relation of platonic theory and religion. I haven't even written an outline... oh no
Thank you again my dear... warmest regards, Lisa
