Elvira
Mistress of the Dark
It's being able to be myself.
I don't have to take pictures of myself with an angle that makes me look slimmer, or hides my tummy.
I don't have to pretend that I used to eat healthily and can admit that I was an out of control eating machine for my whole life until now.
I don't have to pretend that I am happy all the time and can moan about things without people telling me to shut up.
I can be me, and nobody judges me. Nobody looks down their nose at me because I am overweight. Nobody tuts and sighs (well you might do!) when I start whinging about my bingo wings or gaining a few lbs.
I love this forum and if it didn't exist, and I didn't have the support of you guys, I would probably weigh about 26st and be miserable.
Okay, totally irrelevant gushing session over!
