FAT MAN, THIN MAN, FATTER MAN...GOOD GRIEF!! I have been "overweight" or whatever other descriptive you care to use to call me fat, most all of my life with occasional spurts of weight loss. I've been up and down the scale several times, (mostly up) and have gained and lost over 300+ pounds in my life. However, I've begun to see myself as more than just a "fat" person...it gets easier to take on a different outlook when one doesn't fight for every breath, or have joints scream in pain every time you move.

Dear Charlie Boy,
As you know, you are my "miracle" baby brother! Waiting 9 years for you to come into my life brought me so much joy and excitement on the day you were born!!! (9-29-59) And every day since! I know you have struggled with being overweight all your life. Reading your story saddens me to know how cruelly you were treated because of it.
I admire your honesty and hope it helps to share with others "your story". It is amazing to me how each time you fall, you get up, brush yourself off and are willing to keep on trying. You are MY HERO, Charlie! And MY INSPIRATION!
I believe in you, always have, always will. I know you will do all you can possibly do to continue on a path that will lead you to a healthier, happier lifestyle.
I am here for you! and I love you! (MORE)!
Your sister Julie
xoxo
