This postcard from PostSecret showed up a couple of weeks ago.
It’s a pretty intense secret. It reads:
I’m 27 years old. Two years ago, I had surgery to lose 150 lbs. I am thin and beautiful now, but in my head, I still feel morbidly obese. I CAN NO LONGER HIDE BEHIND MYSELF and I am scared.
If you have ever wondered why so many people lose weight and gain it again, this postcard gives us an honest look into our minds. On the back of the postcard were written the words, “I miss being a lardass.” Getting healthy and staying there isn’t the same as just getting thin. It takes the entire body and mind to achieve and maintain that goal.

When I first lost it didn’t make me happy in the long run. I had to get happy first.

you are really stong and brave for what you are doing. keep it up, because you are being a strong example and role model to other people struggling with what you are. if you ever feel like you need to hide from the world, just think that there are other people who are less brave than you and you deserve to be in the spotlight.
