Lovely lady, you're gorgeous and your smile could light up a room. I'm so sorry people are vile, you don't deserve it. You've come so far, and your happiness and health shows. You should be proud of yourself, I'm proud of you and I don't even know you.

And I think the steps you are taking is great. Let me tell you a bit about my body. 5'8", 150lbs. Always been built like a swimmer. I cycle upwards of 25 hours a week here in Colorado as well as play hockey 2x a week. I have a resting heart rate of 47bpm and about 95 for high intensity workouts. I eat decently and love green vegetables. I was raised on a ranch with a meat and potatoes kind of diet. I struggle mightily with my LDLs and triglycerides. To the point where when my blood is drawn if you let it sit for a day, the fats separate. But from the outside, I look perfectly healthy... even when taking blood pressure. But that doesnt tell the whole story. I never smoked but I do enjoy beer on the weekends (which is why I cycle so much). Body fat will vary within the standard deviation for height, but for those that just downvoted my comment because they feel that body positivism supersedes everything else, shame on them. Health goes much deeper than appearance.

Are you f*****g American?

You don’t know that. I have been overweight most of my life, and a type 1 diabetic for 35 years. My cholesterol level is a little bit high, but that is caused by my high level good cholesterol - hdl. My bp is excellent and according to my endocrinologist there is no threat to my health. He also says that being a bit heavier is far healthier than for example smoking, which I fortunately quit 3 years and 28 pounds ago. You go girl! You are beautiful and remember that ‘fat’ people don’t wrinkle 😘
