I want to hug you right now. Sorry if that seems weird. That's precisely why I posted, and why Jess posted, because I read it, and it triggered me right back into sitting in the doctor's office and being told I should have a surgery that has a 10% chance of killing me, because it would make me lose weight. I felt like I was being told I'd be better dead than fat.
There is nothing wrong with you. You are awesome. It was a well written technically. If it hadn't been, it wouldn't have affected me so much. But that doesn't mean it's correct, or healthy.
You know that you are healthy. You know that you're strong. And I can totally see why you wouldn't want to say it to the author. She obviously believes what she's saying, so I wouldn't presume that there would be support there.
Anyway, just, y'know. Be you. It's more than enough.
