Very beautiful way to express such emotion. I love the honesty and emotion involved. Thank you for sharing your struggle. So sorry for the complications and struggles you have had to endure.... but I can clearly see that beautiful person!
Me thoughts go with you....Altho I do not know what it means to have obesity but I sure do know how it feels to not be happy with one self. Several yrs further in life, I'm stronger than ever. I have people around me that love me and most important of all, me children are still with me and they give me the greatest love of all. A person's beauty comes from within, do not ever let anyone tell you any different.
I love this layout because it has the poetry nicely merged into the photo but most of all, you dare to be so open about something so intense and personal. Well done!
I wish you many yrs of happiness....

Wow this is real art and what a beautiful poem you wrote, it really touched me and I am sorry you had to go trough all that pain, physically and emotionaly, people can be so cruel, but it is the ones that love you inside out that matter. I too wage a battle with my weight everyday, but I am my own worst critique, maybe I should take a leaf out of your book, tfs Robbin!!!! :)
Oh my gosh!!! This is so amazing!!! What a wonderful work of art this is... And I too, struggle with this issue, so I completely understand your frustrations! Robin, you are my HERO!!!
Wow! As someone who constantly battles with weight....this is very touching and thought provoking! What a beautiful layout you have put with it! The butterflies are very appropriate. Love it!
This is a part of a book of poetry that I have written and I have decided to scrap the pages with the poetry. Poem reads:
I WAGE A COMPLICATED WAR WITHIN MY MIND, EVERY DAY, EVERY MOMENT... NOT A SINGLE BREATH IS WITHOUT ANGUISH. THERE IS NO ESCAPING MY OBVIOUS IMPERFECTION. I BATTLED ENDLESSLY THIS DEMON CALLED "OBESITY". NOW STANDING AT THE EDGE OF A SUPREME SACRIFICE, SURGICAL STARVATION... BUTCHERED BODY, SUTURED SOUL, I WEEP FOR THE WOMAN WITHIN THAT NO ONE WOULD SEE... BUT I ALWAYS KNEW WAS THERE.

I wrote this the day before my Gastric Bypass surgery...which was the beginning of a two year nightmare that wouldn't stop. I lost 175 pounds, but 5 years post op...I have regained almost all of it back. As soon as I quit vomitting every single meal, the weight came right back on.
Life Lesson learned: The people who really love you, love you no matter what..and the people that are cruel to someone when they are overweight, will find something else nasty to say to you when you lose it.
