| Body Transformed 
Wow, Missi looks great! She had surgery just over a month ago, and already she looks like a different person. She seems weak and tired, though. I asked her if it was difficult to prepare a big Christmas dinner for everyone and to only be able to eat a little bit herself. She said that her appetite has diminished to the point that food just doesn't have any control over her life any more. I've tried to imagine what that must be like and cannot fathom it. Looking back, food has been my best friend and worst enemy at the same time. Eating keeps me locked into this miserable existence, hating the way I look as well as the way I feel. It's humiliating to try to squeeze into a seat on an airplane. I can no longer ride roller coasters or other amusement park rides because the seat restraints would crush my chest. I'm afraid to sit on some park benches and public seating because I don't know if they'll hold up under my weight. Buying clothes is a hardship. Everything that fits my size 24 body is plain and ugly. It's hard to care about how I look.
