Thank you Mary........How wise and kind you are. These women sound so alike it's scary.
I am very very sorry she said awful things to you when your son was ill, how painful that was.
Your friend was married, mine never was, did yours have children?
I guess the weight issue and low self esteem are often combined. I often wondered at what point you STOPPED looked at yourself and said, I am fat, I am 200 lbs or 250 or 300 lbs, I can't tie my shoes, go to the bathroom by myself, stand for long, live life to the fullest.
There is a lot of pain hiding in those layers of fat, once the pain is stripped away by therapy the fat melts as well. For some I am afraid the pain of weight is better then the pain of looking inside ones soul. It can be a sad sad world for some.
