PostSecret: Fat Crush on Jenny
This postcard from PostSecret made me want to scream, “Tell her!” An emailed response was far more powerful, however:

I am so fat and I did tell Jenny I have a crush on her and she did fall for me. And I didn’t even send that secret in. Crazy.
What are you avoiding because you consider yourself too fat? Is it a swimming suit? A trip to the beach? A new job? A beautiful relationship?
Don’t put your life on hold because of the shape of your body. Life is too short to hide your feelings for someone you love. Life is too short to wait until you have the perfect body. Live the life you want now.

I think this advice is the number one way to eliminate any unconcious drive to continue unhealthy eating patterns.

what if you’re healthy but too fat to wear the clothes you want? i have really big shoulders and thick legs and a belly ..im not huge but when i put on cute clothes i look bulgy, is it ok to change your body first then? mostly im scared to talk to him because i dont feel comfortable in my own body. what do you think?
