We All Need Help
Rhonda:
Unfortunately, your story is one that is all too familiar. I have said it many times. I believe that sexual abuse is one of the most common threads with morbidly obese individuals, especially women. The violation, devastation, betrayal, self-loathing, and deep-set guilt contributes so much to our weight gain and our self-destructive behaviors.
We are definitely the walking wounded sometimes and we're never gonna be perfect, but we're here and we're succeeding. We are living proof that we can survive and overcome. We don't have to live and die as victims.
Please feel free to post, even about painful things in your life. We're here to support you, just as we would like support from you. You're not alone.
By the way, 92 lbs. is a TREMENDOUS feat. Please don't take it lightly. You have done a fantastic job with your tool. Keep up the great work. We're here for you.
