    That’s heartbreaking.
    That is all.

    And I’m sure that everyone tells him/her how good they look.

    I always read Postsecret, but I didn’t remember the other one. That one breaks me.

    Car, that other one has happened to me. And many others of us i am sure.

    Fatphobia is going to make cocaine the first legalized drug, and marijuana the last.

    I wonder if she’ll be so grateful to have been thin all those years when her doctor tells her that if she does one more line, she’s going to kill herself – a la Stevie Nicks.

    I’m dealing with my monthly Girl Situation so this made me literally cry.

    People just…wow.

    I’m on the LiveJournal postsecret communty, where users make their own secrets, and they are posted once a day for other readers to appreciate.

    The number of secrets like these is staggering, and heartbreaking. I catch as many as I can, I say kind words, I point them here or at TR or at some other FA blog, I TRY.

    My secret?

    Inside my heart are a hundred secrets about how I feel about my own fat, and what I would do to get rid of it, and how much it sometimes makes me hate myself.

    So, to the sentiment behind so many of them . . . me, too, I guess.

  8. Thank you, Kate Harding. Thank you, Shapelings! « Femmeknitzi, on January 14th, 2008 at 5:31 am Said:

    [...] realizing (and I’m so glad that I have) is that there is no diet, no amount of cocaine (via post secret today), no amount of surgery and no amount of hating other people that can make us love [...]

    Mee too, Buttercup, at least twice that I know of.

    I saw this secret on Sunday and it made me so sad. I wanted to find this person and hug them. I can’t imagine the feeling of being unable to love your own body enough to accept it and be comfortable with who you are.
