Mary,
The following that you quoted is exactly how
I feel and you couldn't have said it better! I said to myself, that is me she is talking about!!!!
"I was so embarrassed by my appearance that I withdrew socially. I cut off contact with anyone who knew me prior to my weight gain. I couldn’t stand the thought of them seeing what I had become. I skipped my high school reunion, made excuses, hid behind the fat. I avoided just about all social situations except for family functions, I really only spent time with those that were as heavy as I was. Normally a very outgoing, motivated person, I became an apathetic, homebody. I was dying both physically and mentally."
Thanks Mary for sharing your thoughts and know that you are a true inspiration!
