What got to me was the fact that these women were looking for acceptance and conpanionship even if it was the wrong kind or how degrading it was to them. They would interview a few of them and the sad stories because they were inprisioned in fat bodies.
It made me think, about the prisons we build for ourselves. Being over weight and not being able to do all the things we would like to do because of size or health. Not wanting to be seen because of how we look. The way society views us. Not to mention the poor self esteem.
I wouldn't ride amusement park rides anymore because I would have to be stuffued into them and it always drew attention to me and it would embarass me sooo much. Not riding the water rides because their was weight limits or you could here people saying under their breath...."look out people below, there is going to be a tidal wave coming". I couldn't hike without having an asthma attack or holding everybody up because I wasn't in shape. Another is constantly feeling self concious when you swim. :(
Well I am here to tell you....those days are well over! I am busting out of my prison. I am going to enjoy life and what it has to offer. I hope everyone here breaks free of their prisons too. :)"

In some weird way, it is like building a wall around yourself. It is a way to hide.
But at some point, this way of being a coward threatens your life.
It isn't a good way to deal with your fears or insecurities."
