That makes sense. Women tend to struggle more with body issues then men. Plus society makes it more acceptable for a man to be stocky.

Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.

Not only have you worked hard and changed your life - you are a great example to us all and always provide help and encouragement! I'm glad your surgeon affirmed all of the achievements that you've worked so hard for. Your dedication is inspiring and remember not to be so hard on yourself. :)

Congratulations on ONE YEAR!

Thank you so very much! One of my basics is to "be kind to myself" but it's probably the most challenging one on my list.

I always say would you talk to yourself the way you talk to your best friend? If you answer is no then you have a good awareness now you are not being kind to yourself.

Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.

Yes :) I say the same thing! I try to be as nice to myself as I am to my friends. Which is challenging, but definitely worthwhile.
