There's no need for us to share details and really nothing brave about doing so. But I thank you for the support. The important thing is that we're sensitive to this illness. And sensitive to people who have weight issues.
It's very easy to judge and condem. Easy to assume the whys and wherefores. But it doesn't solve anything.
The important thing is for us not to fall prey to societal or parental pressures about such things as body image. We have enough to worry about these days without trying to conform to someone else's idea of what the bathroom scales should read. If we're healthy and happy that should be enough.
I commend you Rosie for being brave enough in
SL to fight against convention. Be yourself, yea!!!
