Picture Freak Out

I am reading this on a tiny phone, scrolling down and seeing tiny pieces at a time. When this photo came into view, I reacted: "Wow, she looks beautiful!" and then I felt a sad recognition as I read your reaction. I do the same thing to myself, and it is nothing more than carrying on my legacy of childhood abuse. Never mind that I would never talk to anyone else this way!

Sometimes, I say to myself: "Today, I must say to my best friend everything I say to myself. I have to tell her she's fat, ugly, unappealing - everything I say to myself." The thought of treating someone I love that way is so appalling that it does help me to remember: I certainly don't deserve that.

And neither do you, Lisa. You are amazing and wonderful and brilliant and beautiful. Thank you so much for this blog.
