Category Archives: Emily “I’m fat.” Apparently I say that a lot. I mean, it’s true; I’m not a size 4, fishing for compliments, waiting for someone to say, “No, you’re not.” I’m a size 24. Yeah. 24. So, when I say I’m fat, I mean it, but I don’t mean it in a derogatory way. It’s more matter-of-factly,…  I have never been good at making friends. Like, ever. From as far back as I can remember, I have been told I “look mean.” Seriously. I never know what to say when someone I meet finally gets comfortable enough with me to say, “I thought you were mean.” Because, really, this face? Is nothing… I’ve always believed it’s much harder to be the one left behind than to be the one who is leaving. I completely understand your feelings! Yes! I never put two and two together like that, but, yes, it is so much harder to be left behind! So much love! I feel another you tube dedication coming on… I love this! You are a witty writer. DO IIITTTTTTT. I will always laugh at your jokes. Forever and always. I wish we’d known each other in Korea. Yup. This one seems normal too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZp6pmgbZyU Made me laugh! I totally understand how you feel. one of my bffs is leaving this summer and I will be here with no one! I feel like I am similar to how you describe yourself- anti social with anxiety. but I don’t have kids to force me into meeting people. lol.  I live with crippling Social Anxiety Disorder. Social situations scare the crap out of me. If I am forced to interact with people I don’t know, there will be breathing into a paper bag involved before or after the encounter. When I tell people about my anxiety, most folks are shocked. It makes me laugh… Good for you! I’m so happy to hear that you are willing to at least try! I have never been officially diagnosed but I also have crazy anxiety when it comes to getting in front of people or just going to the gas station… that’s right. I like to tell myself it’s not going to kill me to just try! You never know what will come of it. YOU GO GIRL! You’re my bestie for many reasons, but this is definitely one of them. I had no idea, @[1074861580:2048:Victoria]! Thanks for sharing and reading  Who does, right? Well, I used to in September of 2011. By March of 2012, I made it all the way down to 230 pounds, which is still fat, but it’s the lowest I’ve weighed in my adult life. (My highest weight? 314 pounds.) I was working out, eating right, and doing the right thing. … SO inspiring Em! I am SUPER proud of you, my friend!

I love this article. It is so true. At one time you would hear me say something similar to “that was a bad boy” until my four year old said that he was just a “bad boy”. It broke my heart. I quickly changed that. He is now a very sweet boy that just made a poor choice.
I can also identify with the rest of the article. I am barely 5ft tall and a size 14. My family is currently packing for South Korea and I keep reading about how large women better bring everything they need with them because they definitely won’t find it there. That’s just a little intimidating!
Awesome post!!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed your article.
I know the feeling. My son is 5 and 38 pounds, he is a stick figure and he will do this too, so I have started correcting myself. I’m hoping to do this with my younger daughter as well
So true. My term for putting on my make-up used to be, “Mommy’s going to get pretty.” One day my then 4 year old daughter said, “Mommy, am I not pretty because I don’t wear make-up?” I actually went make-up free for 4 months to prove that make-up doesn’t make you pretty, it’s what is on the inside. (After a month I asked my husband if he noticed anything different, he asked if I colored my hair! So, I guess I put on make-up for me….)
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing – life is definitely the example set, and people don’t realize they learn as much from watching and listening as from being directly told – sometimes more!! Keep up the amazing work!!
Janet, you likely won’t be able to find anything on the economy, but! The PX carries clothes (some of them are actually nice and don’t suck) and Amazon, Old Navy, and Torrid ship fast.
Best of luck, Janet!
