A very well-written story most of us can relate to. I made peace my body shape years ago, I just keep it in the same shape. My daughter pays the hairdresser R400,00 for highlights. My highlights are free and have a unique silver shine. Lol.

This is very interesting what you have penned about yourself. I see so much of me in my past in this. I am thankful that I love me as I am and work on me daily. I love donuts too! Great job. Good luck in the contest. Teri

A great story about how you feel about your life, I think there are many who share the desire to lose weight. I for one. But from the lips of Ivana Trump, "it is what it is"

I enjoyed reading it and you have perfect English

Well done
Mary

    Hi Mary,
    You're the second person in FanStory to tell me they want to lose weight. That makes me feel less alone.
    Thanks for reading.

MJ I don't think you are on your own with not having self confidence about body image. My wife is just like you. But we have 3 wonderful adult kids who we both love dearly.
Good story about a part of your life

Nice write, I prefer the pleasantly plump over just plump, lol. There is nothing wrong with a couple extra pounds, I hate seeing women that look so thin that they are starving if at anything for attention.
Nicely done, good luck on this and have a wonderful day.

    We'll have to start exercising more, Cookie. Maybe that will do the trick. My excuse is that I have an under-active thyroid...
    Thanks for reading.
    P.S. Just ate two little cakes before writing this.

    I see you have a sense of humour. That's the best. I exercise too, but I guess I should exercise more and eat less. :)

It's amazing how writing can make us feel. Especially those wanta be a famous writer types. It would certainly be a dream come true, allow us to work in our bath robe as we entertain people willing to spend money on what came out of our brains just for fun, and on to paper.
Just a pleasant see ya later, ain't life good story. Thank you for that, I just spent 9 days in the hospital. So thanks, if I get it all figured out, I send you the blueprint. Have a good one!

We'll you've achieved one thing i haven't. You speak perfect English, I can't speak perfect Spanish, heh, heh. This ls a very interesting work M J, I always like peeking through the window on people's lives, writing brings out the empathy in one's view of others. Well done, most enjoyable blessings, Roy

I very much enjoyed this post. It attests to our human ability to make light of something that can become almost obsessive. I can totally relate except that my obsession is getting old, yes I am. And it hurts, I mean physically and I hate that. Thank you for your candid and funny message.
