I have been overweight for going on 20 years and I am too pretty to be this fat. I was an athlete and swam, rode horses, played frisbee and loved to go dancing. I do none of that anymore. I sit on my couch and watch TV and eat. I am also in recovery and once I stopped doing drugs, food became my 'drug of choice'. I don't want to go one more year hating myself. I am too good to feel so bad.
