So sorry to hear about your loss. Great job getting back to the gym. I think a lot of us are used to dealing with stress by eating. You turned to exercise to alleviate your stress today. That's a great turnaround! I want to be like you when I grow up!

Amy you seem like a sensitive, kind soul. More importantly, you seem like a very strong young woman. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't understand what it's like to be overweight, or depressed. When you can, expand your support system. There are people out there that will be sensitive to your needs. In the meantime, take good care of yourself.

amy i feel you and understand...catfish is right....yesterday is over...sure it hurts and it always will..but
use that hurt to your advantage...prove those negative thoughts you have wrong..you are gorgeous inside and out...
there are mean people in this world..i hate mean people..i believe strongly in what goes around..
i was nearly home bound for 2 yrs because i was ashamed to go out..i am still struggling to bring
myself out of that..if i can do it, at 336 when i started, so can you..every day is a new day...

"another reason im posting this is so maybe when im successful with my band that i can look back at this and not forget how horrible things are/were. also i have now decided if i ever date people again my test is going to be what they think of obese people.. if they have bad feedback. theyre out of here."
Hang in there and you will do JUST FINE! People can certainly be mean, sometimes to unknowingly to themselves.
Yesterday is over! Make today a better one and tomorrow will be even better. One day at a time.

Congrats Cheryl! I hope to see your book in stores very soon!

I think there's a complicated history of hair care and black women. Have you seen the documentary "Good Hair" by Chris Rock? It's a very funny, but accurate portrayal of African-American women and the hair care industry. I began wearing my hair naturally (partially) due to having extreme night-sweats. I'd roll my hair at night, only to have soaking wet hair in the morning. And while I love wearing my hair naturally, there are many African-American who would never consider doing so. Seems like self-esteem issues are connected to hair... A little more complicated than it appears, I think,
