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.

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.

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.

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.
