Deny The Lie: You’re a Hippo!
I struggled with my weight all my life. I have this love/hate relationship with my body. Presently, I’m at my highest weight ever. God bless my husband though, he still tells me I’m beautiful. But I don’t feel very beautiful. I feel fat and I am fat. I remember the first time I felt shame […]
