I absolutely LOVE this entry by Leah Peah.

Pretty much, I’ve spent my entire life hating the way I look. And I’m tired of it. I want to love myself just the way I am, large or not, with neck rolls, size 26 pants and boobs too large to do anything with. I want to look in the mirror and not worry that those people around me are looking at me in disgust and revulsion. Or disappointment. Are you on board, me?

Leah Peah is the woman who they based Tara on in the show, United States of Tara. Toni Collette plays her in the show and she just won an Emmy for her work last year. I love her entry documenting her bulimic teen years all the way to present time in pictures. Go there and read it RIGHT now!
