It's easy for someone who isn't struggling with that kind of eating disorder to say hurtful things because they just don't understand and/or because they like being cruel. To them it's as easy as well don't eat so much cake! As someone who has had to struggle with eating and knowing when to stop, it's NEVER as simple as just put the fork down. Again. I respect you and I respect what the steps you're taking for your health and well being. I read the post and I thought it was very honest and brave of you to write. redsaffronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-590172560395283117.post-85134796587068347592013-09-23T14:58:07.442-05:002013-09-23T14:58:07.442-05:00Lauren, thank you.

That post you wrote was for super obese people, written to help people to not feel alone in struggles such as the ones you wrote about. I'm overweight, but not super obese, but I appreciated the candidness of the post because people need to hear about other people like them sometimes- it helps to deal with feeling alone. When people are hopeless, they lose stamina to keep trying. If you identify with others who have your problems and you see those people still trying, still fighting through, it's inspiring. I keep following your blog because you never quit, and you are amazing.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980162364882189608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-590172560395283117.post-68309210211330941032013-08-22T20:12:39.026-05:002013-08-22T20:12:39.026-05:00Keep writing the blog.

But I also get positive comments sometimes, which are encouraging, and I'm sure you do too. I only read the comments when I'm in the mood to deal with the negative ones, which is only once in a while, and I would advise you to do the same. Also, consider the source of your critics, blow past their hateful comments, and move on to the good people's comment who are posting more encouraging words. A. J.

I discussed it with my sister when I first read it some weeks ago and shared the link with her. We both admired your immense courage in sharing such a personal story.

It is...Yes, please don't ever delete your blog. It is difficult to find others who understand. The closest thing I have to a support group is Weight watchers, which is always filled with optimism. Don't get me wrong. That is all well and good, but sometimes I just want to speak the truth. NO EVERYTHING IS NOT FINE! I can't breath today. My leg is leaking fluid again from the edema because my grandma's cat barely scratched it. Under my stomach NEVER feels clean, not matter how many times I shower. Christmas gifts I receive are to help me with that "personal hygiene", which is totes embarrassing at work. AND TO BEAT ALL, my doctor keeps reassuring me that I will NEVER lose weight without surgery because I am simply too big. Yeah. It's true, but what can one expect from a free clinic. Anyway, the point is....Reading others' trials and triumphs, like your blog, reassure me that I am not alone in my battle to lose weight. Thank you and sorry about the "haters".

I think EVERYONE struggles with overdoing something; it's just that your struggle is visible. I read your blog for inspiration for my own weight struggles. I think you're on the right path--no obsessive dieting, drugs or surgery to fix it, but a path toward wholeness and health. May God help you on your way.

They were wonderful in their compassion and creativity. To see those comments span over the course of several years was astonishing and humbling. <br /><br />I took the opportunity to read a handful of your posts in your archive and in those posts I saw the writing of a beautiful woman, loving wife and graceful human being. I prejudged you and I want to make amends and ask your forgiveness. <br /><br />Your post contained so much significant information--I can scarcely appreciate the resource you provided to so many people who happened to stumble upon it through Google--and I am sad to see that resource go because of people like me who reacted inappropriately. <br /><br />I apologize and am sorry for intruding into your space and causing you suffering.
