My childhood obesity went hand in hand with my depressed mind state. Efforts at participating in youth sports were met with âweigh insâ for game day. I regularly wasnât able to play, though I learned to love practice.
I also learned to be hyper critical of my size and to feel ashamed and to starve and binge and purge. When I finally got ahold of my mind stateâ coming out, changing schools, leaving school, nearly dying and learning to really want to liveâ the weight started coming off.. and staying off.
My blue print is not small. My healthy body and mind oâ your healthy body and mindâ are not numerical. I hope that this young ladyâs testimony â our testimonyâ helps folks look again at the source and the solution of our own mutated self image and efforts at aesthetic.
