I struggle often with whether I am beautiful or not because I'm not a size 2 and I have not met my husband yet while pushing 32! As I get older I just seem to think it must be me. I must not be beautiful enough b/c Im too fat and therefore unattractive. This helped shed light on what real beauty is and it definitly needs to be redefined. I think youve gotten a great start! Thank you! This really spoke to me. I struggle often with whether I am beautiful or not because I'm not a size 2 and I have not met my husband yet while pushing 32!

So honest, so true, and well written! I like your new picture too. Whether small or large, I think sooner or later most of us women struggle with our definition of beauty and accepting ourselves. Thanks for opening up your process to us and the truths you are finding along the way! Melissa, this is my favorite of your DIB posts so far! So honest, so true, and well written!

It's exciting to me that you are getting a handle on things at a younger age than I am... It's exciting that you won't have as many wasted years! Go for it with everything you have- it'll be worth it! You are so welcome.

As if somehow her fight isn't good enough and she should just shut up about it. Well, I just want to tell you that I recognize that your trying to keep weight on you is just as valid and important as any other issue! And I know God sees your struggle as well.

All the while, I overly ate, unhealthy foods at that, to try to gain the weight I felt would be acceptable to everyone else. Until I met my husband and found Christ, did I start to even consider that others may find me to be beautiful. It is something I struggle with everyday. Thank you for opening yourself up to allow me to read about the other side of my situation. I related to it more than you know.

I was JUST talking about how i am so unhappy with my current weight! Ive struggled with my body image my whole life and somehow i always felt so close, but SO far from what i thought was "perfection". Your story speaks volumes to me. Your awesome! P.s. I identify alot with your stories how your desire for attention, alters how clothes, and such looked just a little different on you. I have just recently been set free from that.
