As someone who has worked hard for too long to lose about as much weight as you've lost just this year, I just want to say how incredibly proud I am of you. I know how hard it is. I know how strong the barriers seem and how tall the mountains are. Praise God that he is continuing to work through girls like us to help us be who He created us to be.
It is a lot of work, although quite a bit of the has to happen in my head. Yesterday, I was really frustrated with something and went through this time, of "UGH! AND I CAN'T GRAB FOOD TO STUFF THE ANGER!!" I honestly had no idea what to do to deal with that overwhelmed, stressed out feeling.
I waited. I talked with a friend. I made a reasonable but not usual choice for supper that wasn't a splurge but still felt like a treat.
And I survived.
Maybe we can get together this summer.
And yes -- even though I'll never be a skinny girl, I can still be healthy and honor God with the body that he has blessed me with. I AM made in God's image.

Thank you, Hailey.
