As you know from reading mine, I feel the same way about my body. I had those same experiences while growing up. My mom put me on a diet at the age of 10, and wrote me a letter telling me how sad it made her to see me so fat. The only time in my life that I was thin was during the bulimic years of adolescence. So I can definitely relate to your letter. I hope someday, somehow we both (and our sisters in amplitude) find a way to resolve the issues that make our own flesh toxic to us.

I was going to send you this in email so this didn't seem like self-promotion, but I can't seem to find your email address anywhere. I just wanted to say this was a great, honest post, and to share with you that about a year ago I wrote <a href="http://sexeteria.net/2006/12/im_fat.php" rel="nofollow">this post</a>, and going back and reading it now, I almost can't believe how much I love my body now compared to how I felt then (and for many years). And I'm not much thinner than when I wrote it. So I want to say, it can happen, that change from body/self hatred to love. And I think deciding I wanted it to happen was the first step. So I think that it will happen for you, too. I'll be rooting for you. Hi there.

You are incredibly brave to be so candid about such a personal subject. Personally, I have / am still trying to learn to love my body. It's not easy in today's society. Kudos to you Sizzle for baring your soul to us on such a personal subject. I can’t say anymore than what’s already been said by everyone.

Don't give up the weight loss fight. It sucks and it's hard, but you'll do it! You're very inspiring in your writing and I always enjoy your posts! You inspired a post of my own on the topic of women and weight. So thank you! Forget any stupid guy in the past that can't see how beautiful you are! I think you're incredible!

Very candid though, i think we all have a love hate relationship going withour bodies, wanting more but giving less. I’ve seen another blogger do a letter to their body too, can’t remember where.

Wish I could lay on my back forever and look hot in a bikini. ;) As I've gotten older, my body and I are becoming friends. I now say...To hell with people that judge us on looks. To hell with our own bad opinions about ourselves. Live your life. Live happy. Love yourself ALWAYS. I know all about sucking in the gut to feel thin.
