I was a healthy woman with lots of curves. It had taken some work, but I didn’t hate the way I looked. However, I wasn’t enough of a dreamer to delude myself that the rest of the world felt the same. I’d been hearing comments pretty much my entire life about how I’d be so sexy if I only lost twenty pounds, or how I had pretty hair or pretty eyes, because no one who was on the plus side of the scale could ever just be pretty, right?
