feeling really ugly today

This, this and THIS! You are so wise, Ms. RosyKate! :-) I totally agree with everything you said, especially the getting dressed up and still doing my hair and makeup. I would look in the mirror and still see an extremely fat and ugly girl but at least people would think I had tried...

Aw, thanks Kitty. Funny how these things sneak up on us. I am so glad to have a community with whom I can talk about these issues. This isn't something most people I know in real life could even understand.
