How many people reading this have been the ex-girlfriend, attending the wedding of a former boyfriend? How often does it happen and how much time usually goes by between the end of the former relationship and the wedding? In this case, 18 years. Yes, we kept in touch...
Disclaimer: since I've become properly obese, I re-read these old posts and see my body dysmorphia and self-hatred and obsession with food and weight. It's horrible to me now. I wish I weren’t a person who believes I’m not as worthy as a fat person as I was as a thin...
