Very nice post Tracy.  I think a lot of people can relate to this, even those who haven't reached the obese category.  Thanks for the reminder to be happy that this less than perfect body has done amazingly well despite all of the abuse.

This is an excellent post! To use another analogy, it's so easy to get caught up in the trees instead of looking at the beauty of the forest. There's some imperfections in every single tree, but it we focus on the whole tree and the entire forest, we are overwhelmed by its beauty.
