I'm sure your bloodwork will be fine. It has to be better than all the extra weight on your heart ect right? I a anxiously awaiting my surgery o the 24th!! I was banded for 2 years and now I am getting sleeved. I hope I have learned enough about nutrition and excersise so I can stay healthy and lose weight. How much have you lost so far?

I was a weepy mess when I read it as well - I am so glad you enjoyed it. It is hard work to learn to love one's body, at least I know it is for me.

Thank you so much for posting this. It made me cry, which is a good thing. Living in the states, I hadn't heard of this book or of this letter. Just like the author, I have a 3 year old daughter. I am the fat daughter of a fat mother, so I also learned from an early age that fat is bad and I hated myself because of it. I am going to share this link with my own family and with all my friends who are mothers of daughters so they can also see this powerful message and maybe they will think a bit more about how their own body image may be hurting their girls.
